President Donald Trump's civil rights attorney astounded a legal expert on Thursday after she boosted a bet on the prediction market Polymarket about her ability to prosecute a journalist.

Harmeet Dhillon, Trump's deputy attorney general for the DOJ's civil rights division, reposted a Polymarket bet on X about former CNN anchor Don Lemon being indicted in connection with a Minnesota church protest. The Department of Justice made multiple arrests related to the protest earlier in the day, and the Trump administration has weighed charging Lemon under the KKK Act for seeking to deprive others of their rights.

Polymarket said there was a 36% chance Lemon would face criminal charges.

A federal judge recently rebuffed the DOJ's attempt to charge Lemon, arguing there was no basis for the charges.

Dhillon's repost caught the eye of Adam Klasfeld, editor-in-chief of All Rise News, who said it seemed like she was trying to boost the odds that she would be able to "corrupt the system."

"Ms. Dhillon is apparently quite proud that people are literally gambling roughly one-in-three odds that she'll be able to corrupt the system enough to do it following her initial failure," Klasfeld posted on X.

The Loonie pair gains marginally ahead of monetary policy outcomes by the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) during New York trading hours. Both the BoC and the Fed are expected to cut interest rates amid mounting labor market conditions in their respective economies. Inflationary pressures in the Canadian economy have cooled down, emerging as another reason behind the BoC’s dovish expectations. However, the Fed is expected to start the monetary-easing campaign despite the United States (US) inflation remaining higher. Investors will closely monitor press conferences from both Fed Chair Jerome Powell and BoC Governor Tiff Macklem to get cues about whether there will be more interest rate cuts in the remainder of the year.
