A relative of an "extremely well-known" Democrat is set to testify in the upcoming trial of Hillary Clinton's former finance chairman David Rosen.
This "well-known" Democrat secretly tape-recorded Rosen in a bid to get incriminating evidence about an August 2000 Hollywood fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton and her Senate campaign.
Court documents obtained by the New York Sun say that while the informant's identity is being kept secret, "The CW [confidential witness] is related to an extremely prominent and well-known political figure. It can be expected that the fact that CW was working in an undercover capacity for the FBI will become the subject of intense media attention."
Mr. Rosen, who pleaded not guilty in February to a four-count indictment based on allegations that he filed false reports about the Clinton fund-raiser, is scheduled to go on trial in Los Angeles on May 3.
FBI agent David Smith - who's been handling the Clinton case since its inception - said the mystery informant began cooperating in July 2002.
Papers obtained by the Sun reveal that the bombshell witness is a Democrat insider.
"The CW states that s/he is active in fundraising for the Democratic Party. CW assisted in the U.S. Senate campaign of Hillary Clinton. She was involved in the planning of the Clinton Gala," agent Smith wrote in January 2003.
The court documents offer no clue as to whether the confidential witness also tried to wiretap Mrs. Clinton.
Witness: FBI Sought Hillary Tap
However another key witness in the case, Hollywood fund-raiser Aaron Tonken, says in his book "King of Cons" that he agreed to try to tape the former first lady's phone calls at agent Smith's request.
But by the time of Smith's request, said Tonken, team Clinton was aware he was part of the investigation into the August 2000 event and avoided taking his calls.
A source familiar with the case told the Sun that the confidential witness is not related to either Bill or Hillary Clinton.

Sen. Hillary ClintonKennedy In-Law Secretly Taped Hillary Aide

Sen. Ted Kennedy's brother-in-law, who pled guilty to bank fraud charges yesterday in New Orleans, secretly tape recorded former top Hillary Clinton campaign aide David Rosen - and may have taped Hillary herself - as part of an FBI probe into an Aug. 12, 2000 gala fundraiser for Mrs. Clinton's Senate campaign.
Ray Reggie, the brother of Kennedy's wife Victoria Reggie, was identified by prosecutors yesterday as the confidential witness who had been cooperating with investigators for three years as part of his bank fraud plea bargain. "I wasn't sure if anybody made any of these connections yet or not," Assistant U.S. Attorney in New Orleans, Jan Mann, told the New York Sun, which first reported the wiretapping on Thursday.Prosecutors say Rosen, who served as finance chairman for Mrs. Clinton's 2000 Senate race, "made a number of incriminating statements" on the Reggie tapes, which they intend to introduce at his trial, set to begin on May 3.
In an indictment announced in January, Rosen was charged with hiding from the Federal Election Commission hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from the related to the Hollywood gala.
Mr. Reggie traveled extensively with both Bill and Hillary Clinton, put together fundraisers for the former first couple and was an overnight guest at the Clinton White House.
During a June 2000 White House visit, the Clintons and the Reggies stayed up late into the night "chatting," the New York Post said.
Asked if Reggie may have also recorded one or both of the Clintons, attorney David Kendall "had no immediate response," the Sun said. The key government witness was "wearing a wire and making secret tapes as recently as last December," the Post said.
Another key witness in the probe, celebrity fundraiser Aaron Tonken, says the FBI asked him to record his conversations with Mrs. Clinton, in a bid to gather evidence about the Aug. 2000 fundraiser, which Tonken helped produce.
But Clinton insiders suspected he was cooperating with investigators and refused to take his calls.
If Mrs. Clinton was captured on tape making comments indicating she knew the extent of Rosen's alleged misdeeds, it could have a devastating impact on her plans to run for president in 2008.
Both Tonken and Hollywood mogul Peter Paul - who bankrolled the Clinton gala - say they personally apprised the top Democrat about the costs of the fundraiser.
"I told her about virtually every penny I'd spent on her behalf," Tonken recalled in his recent book "King of Cons."
"I told her about the money and what a pleasure it was to spend it on her [Senate] candidacy."
Mr. Paul says Mrs. Clinton was even involved in trying to trim some of the event's production costs.
"Hillary Clinton personally called the producer of the concert part of this event," he told Fox News Channel's Eric Shawn last November.
"She asked him to lower the fee that he was charging of $850,000 at my request. So I don't understand how she could possibly say that she didn't know" about the costs.

In a letter released first to NewsMax.com late Friday, one-time senior Clinton advisor Dick Morris is warning former Hillary Clinton finance chairman David Rosen not to count on the Clintons' loyalty to save him from jail.
In his open letter Morris headlines Rosen his fate: "She Won't Even Visit You in Jail."
In an indictment unsealed in January, Rosen is charged with failing to report to the Federal Election Commission hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions to Mrs. Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign in connection with an August 2000 Hollywood gala fundraiser.
Rosen pled not guilty in February, and Clinton scandal attorney David Kendall says he's confident the one-time top Hillary aide will be cleared at his upcoming trial.
But Morris is urging Rosen to save himself before it's too late, writing in his open letter:
"The damning new evidence of David Rosen's deliberate under-reporting of the cost of the Hollywood-Peter Paul fundraiser makes the likelihood of his conviction ever greater. His trial will begin on May 3.
"The question now squarely confronting Rosen is: Should he tell the truth and implicate Hillary or should he continue to take the rap himself?
"It is inconceivable to me that Hillary would not know of the under-reporting.
"Rosen's actions saved her campaign upwards of $500,000 in hard money, which it could spend on her Senate campaign. This windfall came at a time when Rick Lazio, Hillary's opponent, had gotten her to swear off the use of soft money in her campaign.
"Hillary was desperate for hard money in September of 2000 and it was in this context that Rosen under-reported the expenses of the event, saying that it cost $400,000 when it really cost $1.2 million.
"So, will Rosen follow the footsteps of Web Hubbell and Susan McDougal and go to jail for Hillary?
"Not if he has half a brain he won't.
"The Clintons will wash their hands of Rosen once he is convicted and blame him for their deliberate falsification of federal records. And they won't look back. Ask Web Hubbell, who didn't even rate a pardon from the former president.
"David: She won't even visit you in jail."
