Top Trump campaign official could be cooperating with Jack Smith in 'fake elector' case: report
23 June 2023
One of the top officials for Trump's 2020 campaign is signaling that he could potentially cooperate with prosecutor Jack Smith, according to the New York Times.
Michael Roman, who was previously reported to have delivered the false elector lists, is reported to be in talks with the office of the special counsel Smith, which "could soon lead to Mr. Roman voluntarily answering questions about a plan to create slates of pro-Trump electors in key swing states that were won by Joseph R. Biden Jr., according to a person familiar with the matter."
"If Mr. Roman ends up giving the interview — known as a proffer — to prosecutors working for Mr. Smith, it would be the first known instance of cooperation by someone with direct knowledge of the so-called fake elector plan," according to the report. "That plan has long been at the center of Mr. Smith’s investigation into Mr. Trump’s wide-ranging efforts to overturn the 2020 election."
