The sources told Politico on Friday that Mike Roman, who served as Trump’s director of operations on Election Day 2020, delivered fake voter certificates to Rep. Mike Kelly’s (R-Pa.) chief of staff at the time.
The two people told Politico that the chief of staff deputized a colleague to distribute copies of the lists around Capitol Hill after receiving them from Roman.
Roman did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Politico and did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
The House Select Committee investigating the Capitol Hill rebellion previously released text messages showing that Sean Riley, an aide to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), contacted a Pence aide to arrange for fake voter certificates to be delivered to the Michigan and Wisconsin.
Johnson told reporters after the committee revealed his aide’s involvement that he was “basically unaware” of the communication and that his office received the voter roll from Kelly’s office.
He said his chief of staff did the “right thing” by contacting the vice president’s office about the list and that Pence’s team rejected the voters.
“My chief of staff contacted the vice president’s staff and said, ‘Do you want this?’ They said ‘no’ and we didn’t deliver, and that’s the end of the story,” Johnson said at the time.
Kelly denied involvement in the attempt. He and Johnson did not immediately return requests for comment from The Hill.
A spokesman for Johnson told Politico that Kelly’s office changed its story from completely denying his involvement to not denying that his then-chief of staff was involved.

Kelly’s current chief of staff, Tim Butler, told Politico in an interview that the former chief of staff received the information and another staff member passed it along. Butler said neither still works for Kelly’s office.
Before the 2020 election was certified, Trump privately pressured Pence to overturn the results, according to testimony provided by the House Select Committee.
