Head of DOJ’s Civil Rights Division reposts betting market wager on department action

The head of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, Harmeet Dhillon, has reposted a prediction market wager on a possible DOJ prosecution.

Dhillon reposted an X post from prediction market Polymarket promoting 36% odds on journalist Don Lemon being prosecuted by the DOJ, writing: “Three now arrested.” This comes after a federal judge found no probable cause of Lemon committing a crime, following the Trump administration indicting three demonstrators at a Minnesota protest that the journalist was covering.
