US Top News and Analysis | Oversight Chairman Comer launches congressional probe into insider trading on Kalshi, Polymarket

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer announced a congressional investigation into potential insider‑trading activity on prediction‑market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket. Citing trades that appeared to exploit inside information on elections, U.S. military actions, and other political events, Comer has requested documents from both companies on how they verify user identities, enforce geographic restrictions, and detect anomalous trading. The probe follows recent high‑profile cases—including a U.S. soldier allegedly profiting from a bet on Venezuelan politics and dozens of users placing suspicious wagers ahead of strikes in Iran—prompting bipartisan calls for legislation to bar members of Congress, government employees, and presidential administration officials from participating in such markets. Kalshi, regulated by the CFTC, says it does not allow bets on war or death, while Polymarket, a blockchain‑based platform licensed in Panama, operates under limited U.S. regulation. Both firms have said they are tightening internal rules after the suspicious trades were revealed.

REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster has introduced new legislation aimed at protecting the rights of people to access private reproductive health care. The future of in-vitro fertilization has been into question after a recent ruling in Alabama said embryos created through the process should be considered children. Kuster’s new act, the Access to Family Building Act, would ensure people’s right to assisted reproductive technologies, including IVF. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, D-New Hampshire, are co-sponsors of the legislation in the Senate, and Rep. Chris Pappas, D-New Hampshire, is a co-sponsor in the House.
