Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley said the organization is preparing for all scenarios when it comes to former President Donald Trump s convention speech, including the possibility it could be delivered from behind bars.

Trump, who is the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, will be sentenced in his hush money trial on July 11, just four days before the start of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

On Tuesday, Newsmaxs Rob Finnerty asked Whatley if the RNC was prepared for the effect that Trumps possible incarceration could have on the event.

Yeah, were working on that right now, Whatley replied. Im actually going up to Milwaukee this week, and were going to have a series of conversations.

He continued, But look, we expect that Donald Trump is going to be in Milwaukee, and hes going to be able to accept that nomination. And if not, we will make whatever contingency planning we need to make for it. But the fact is, hes going to be our nominee, and hes going to be the 47th president of the United States.
