Former Donald Trump campaign official Mike Roman is cooperating with prosecutors from special counsel Jack Smith’s team in the ongoing criminal probe related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

One of the sources said that the agreement, known as a proffer agreement, means that Roman may not have to appear before the grand jury but could instead speak to prosecutors in a more informal setting. Under such an agreement, prosecutors generally agree not to use those statements against them in future criminal proceedings.

Roman, who received a grand jury subpoena months ago and had his phone seized, was involved in efforts to put forward slates of fake Trump electors following the 2020 election.

The New York Times previously reported that Roman was in talks with prosecutors about a potential proffer agreement.

It appears that Roman and Gouliani are cooperating …

A former campaign official for former President Donald Trump has taken a proffer agreement to cooperate with special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to two sources who spoke with CNN Thursday. Mike Roman, who was involved in Trump’s scheme to institute slates of fake electors in states that current President Joe Biden had won, is now the second known associate of the former commander in chief to take such an agreement, after it was reported his former personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, had signed one as well. Under such deals, a subject will share information with investigators under the understanding that it will likely not be used against them personally in court.
