Warren, Merkley Press White House on Clemency for Kalshi-Betting Aide

The letter reframes a settled enforcement matter as a test of how the executive branch treats prediction-market conduct inside a political office, and the seven-question format puts the burden on the White House rather than the senators. The timing matters less than the precedent: clemency talk around a Kalshi-related case could shape how compliance teams view event contracts tied to political speech. Whether the White House answers by the deadline, and whether the questions extend beyond this one aide to the platform itself, is the open question.
