A former Trump campaign official who had a role in the former president’s fake electors scheme is reportedly cooperating with the DOJ as part of its investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Mike Roman is working with special counsel Jack Smith’s team to provide information on former President Donald Trump’s thinking in the weeks after his loss to President Joe Biden in 2020, sources familiar told CNN. The talks are being conducted through a proffer agreement, meaning Roman is permitted to speak with investigators in a more informal setting rather than appearing before the grand jury.
Roman’s cooperation comes as the special counsel’s office ramps up its investigation regarding Trump’s efforts to reverse his loss to Biden in 2020, as well as his conduct during the Jan. 6 riot. Smith is leading the DOJ effort, calling witnesses to give insight into meetings Trump held in December 2020 and January 2021 to consider actions aimed at overturning the election, as well as the former president’s pressure campaign on former Vice President Mike Pence to assist with that effort on Jan.
Investigators have heard from a number of witnesses in front of a grand jury in recent weeks, with attorneys pushing to bring more in for interviews.
