Betting Giant Deletes Post After Donald Trump Jr. Advises Firm

A betting giant advised by Donald Trump Jr. deleted a post that claimed Tucker Carlson had an 87 percent chance of facing federal criminal charges this year. The post, which appeared on X, had been shared alongside a photograph of Carlson and a graph suggesting his odds had sharply increased. Historical betting odds for Carlson had previously hovered around eight percent, though they peaked at approximately 27 percent in March.

Donald Trump Jr. joined the betting giant as an adviser in January 2025, receiving equity valued at approximately $300,000. His investment firm, 1789 Capital, has also committed roughly $500 million to rival Polymarket, indicating significant financial involvement in the market.
