The US CFTC is investigating former Congressman Adam Kinzinger for allegedly improper trading on prediction market Kalshi, where an account linked to him bet on whether he would receive a presidential pardon and whether President Biden would issue preemptive pardons between December 2024 and January 2025.

Kalshi has launched an internal review and previously banned other political figures from similar trades.
