Ex-Trump aide Michael Roman reportedly cooperating in 2020 election probeBy Josh Christenson

A former Trump 2020 campaign official is working with Justice Department prosecutors as part of their investigation into the former president’s efforts to overturn the result of the last presidential election.
Michael Roman, the Trump re-election campaign’s director of Election Day operations, has entered into a proffer agreement with prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith’s office, CNN reported, meaning he may provide testimony in exchange for immunity.
Though Roman was subpoenaed months ago and had his phone seized, he is expected to now avoid testifying before a federak grand jury as part of the agreement.
In the wake of Trump’s 2020 loss, Roman joined an effort to put forward slates of pro-Trump “fake electors” to reject President Biden’s victories in key swing states such as Georgia, Arizona, Michigan and Nevada.
Gary Michael Brown, Roman’s deputy who was also involved in the effort, appeared before the grand jury last week.
