美國總統川普9日宣布,電視政治評論員凱蒂札卡利亞(Katie Zacharia)將接任白宮新聞秘書,接替今年8月離任的李威特(Karoline Leavitt)。然而,這項跌破外界眼鏡的人事任命,除了因札卡利亞過去豐富的「中國經驗」引發關注外,更爆出有人提前在預測市場平台精準下注的內線交易疑雲。

川普透過社群平台「真實社群」(Truth Social)發文宣布這項人事案,形容現年41歲的札卡利亞是「讓美國再次偉大運動(MAGA)的忠心粉絲及成員」,將為美國帶來強而有力的表現。

畢業於洛杉磯裴柏汀大學(Pepperdine University)並擁有律師資格的札卡利亞,現職為營運「真實社群」的「川普媒體科技集團」資深顧問。她過去曾短暫擔任國土安全部(DHS)發言人暨副助理部長,並經常在福斯新聞(Fox News)及Newsmax等保守派電視頻道擔任評論員。

川普指出,札卡利亞在總統大選中投入競選團隊,支援關鍵搖擺州的工作,而她參與的7個州全部獲勝,表現無懈可擊。華盛頓郵報引述知情人士報導,札卡利亞過去2週曾2度造訪白宮會見川普,並在面試過程中一路「過關斬將」。知情人士強調,她熟悉川普核心圈子,完全符合川普對發言人形象的偏好。

在踏入華府政治圈前,札卡利亞有一段備受矚目的「北京經驗」。香港「南華早報」11日報導,2011年8月至2013年6月期間,她曾居住於北京,在中國頂尖的中倫律師事務所的國際業務團隊擔任助理律師,協助處理包括世界銀行相關的跨境法律業務。此外,她也曾在關注農民工子弟的非營利組織「打工子弟愛心會」擔任公關職務,至今仍維持基礎的中文能力。

不過,這項人事案同時也捲入內線交易爭議。華爾街日報報導,預測市場平台Kalshi已針對札卡利亞出線的異常投注展開調查。在川普宣布這項人事案前,外界普遍評估札卡利亞獲選的機率僅有1%。然而,Kalshi平台卻在8日晚間出現一筆19美元的押注,預計獲利達1896美元,9日下午更精準湧入2筆分別約74美元與80美元的投注,預計將獲利3689美元與4023美元,獲利高達近百倍。
