'It doesn't matter': Lara Trump admits plan for Trump to join RNC convention from jail
Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump admitted that her party has a plan to nominate Donald Trump at its convention even if he's in jail or faces other types of confinement.
During a Wednesday interview on Real America's Voice, host Terrance Bates asked Lara Trump what would happen if New York Justice Juan Merchan ordered her father-in-law to be incarcerated at his sentencing on July 11.
"And the thing that comes to mind for me is the fact that Judge Juan Merchan could very well sentence President Trump to jail or some sort of prison time, not allowing him to be there for the Republican National Convention, which is of major concern," Bates said.
"Here's the bottom line," Lara Trump replied. "It doesn't matter whether Donald Trump is in Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, or anywhere else they may try to put him."

"On the day that we, as the Republican Party, will be nominating him as our official candidate and our official nominee for president, he will accept that no matter where he is," she continued. "He will go on to be our candidate all the way to November 5th, when he then is reelected as our 47th president."
She argued that Trump's 34 felony convictions were not "a negative for him" because it resulted in increased fundraising.
"I think everybody can only see it's been a positive for him," she said. "People in this country see what's going on with this."
"They see how third-world and communist it is, and they do not want to see this as the future of America."
