RNC Prepares for Trump to Accept Nomination from Prison

Washington Examiner

Republican National Committee Co-Chairman Michael Whatley said the RNC is prepared for the possibility Donald Trump may deliver his convention remarks from prison, noting the former president’s June 11 sentencing will come just days before the convention.

Trump is expected to accept the Republican Party’s nomination for the presidency at the Milwaukee convention, which will take place from July 15 to July 18.

During an interview Tuesday, Newsmax host Rob Finnerty pressed Whatley on whether the RNC had contingency plans for Trump’s acceptance speech in the event Trump is sentenced to jail time. Following his guilty verdict last week, Judge Juan Merchan has scheduled sentencing for July 11, four days before the convention.
