Occurrences

We urge the Department of Justice (DOJ) to further prioritize criminal investigations and civil actions targeting abuses in prediction markets to protect U.S. financial markets, investors, and the public from fraudulent conduct.

Titus signed a congressional letter urging DOJ to more aggressively investigate and prosecute suspected insider trading and abuses on prediction market platforms, and to enforce compliance safeguards by platforms.

Evidence

Titus said she introduced a House resolution to ban Representatives, staff, and House officers from participating in prediction markets, arguing that no Member should profit from insider knowledge on platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket. The resolution also calls on the executive and judicial branches to adopt similar restrictions.

Concrete Titus action on prediction-market insider trading, but it stops short of a DOJ-targeted enforcement request and does not mention platform safeguards or investigations.

The Guardian reported that federal authorities were investigating former Rep. George Santos over suspected insider trading tied to Kalshi bets, with Kalshi said to have flagged the trade to regulators. The report noted that DOJ and CFTC had not commented.

Within the lookback window, there is evidence of federal enforcement activity around prediction-market insider trading, but no direct Titus-specific DOJ prioritization effort was identified.

Assessments

partial same_term

Titus took a concrete same-term step on the underlying issue by introducing a House resolution to bar members and staff from participating in prediction markets, citing insider-knowledge concerns. That materially relates to prediction-market abuse, but the promise was narrower and more specific: urging the Department of Justice to prioritize investigations and enforcement actions and to enforce platform safeguards against illegal activity. The provided evidence does not show a DOJ-directed request from Titus, a platform-safeguards push, or a Titus-driven enforcement outcome. Separate federal investigative activity does not by itself establish delivery because it is not tied to her advocacy. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
