CBS's Robert Costa: GOP Insiders Preparing For Possibility That Trump Is "In Jail During Republican National Convention" In July

CBS's Robert Costa reports that Republican insiders are preparing for the possibility that Donald Trump could be in jail during the Republican National Committee in July where he is expected to be nominated for president.

ROBERT COSTA, CBS NEWS: It's helpful in terms of raising money, but for former President Trump is there is still a logistical nightmare on the horizon. when I spoke to his lawyer Todd Blanche, he didn't rule out the possibility that Trump could be in jail during the Republican National Convention.

When sentencing happens on July 11, there is an expectation he could be put on probation, but this was a tense trial. I was there for seven weeks. At times the judge cleared the courtroom because he was so frustrated with the defense and one of the witnesses that was called. Trump violated the gag order multiple times.

So Republicans, the top Republicans in this country are privately telling me they're not ruling out the possibility that Trump could be in prison when he accepts the nomination.

There's a real concern that some traditional Republican, suburban Republicans, might look at someone being called a convicted felon and say, 'I really can't go there,' even as it motivates so many of Trump's core supporters.
