\n

Former U.S. Congressman George Santos is in hot water again with the feds … the Department of Justice is reportedly investigating him for alleged insider trading.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Santos, a convicted felon, is now facing possible new federal charges for making a suspicious trade in a prediction market on one of President Trump’s speeches, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The outlet reports that Santos bragged about attending Trump’s State of the Union address on February 24, but he then bet against showing up for it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

Santos allegedly placed the bet using Kalshi, a regulated financial exchange that allows users to trade on the outcome of future events.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Kalshi subsequently learned about the suspicious trade and referred Santos to the DOJ, as well as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the AP said. Furthermore, the commission, a federal regulatory body, has recently made a push to crack down on insider trading.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

As for Santos, he’s no stranger to federal prosecutors. He was sentenced to 7 years in a federal lockup after he pleaded guilty to fraud and identity theft in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

But Trump took pity on his fellow Republican and commuted Santos’ sentence, releasing him after 84 days in prison.\u00a0\u00a0Santos served New York’s 3rd Congressional District for just under a year in 2021.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
