Escalation: Santos Claimed No DOJ Investigation Despite
On June 3, George Santos publicly denied that the Justice Department is investigating his trades on Kalshi. He called the allegation baseless and said his legal team was in contact with the department.
When asked about a probe, he said it was news to him and would not say whether he has a Kalshi account. He added he would check with a Kalshi cofounder he claimed to know.
Kalshi froze his account after detecting bets tied to whether he would attend the State of the Union and referred the case to federal prosecutors and to the market’s regulator. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission opened an investigation; Santos’s denial addresses Justice, not the civil probe.
