Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump and daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, is set to attend the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee after being spotted standing behind Trump at his recent campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Lara Trump’s appearance at the Butler rally comes just days after a 20-year-old gunman, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, attempted to assassinate the former president from a nearby rooftop. Crooks, a registered Republican, was able to access the roof by climbing over an air conditioning unit and fired several shots at Trump before being killed by Secret Service snipers.
Despite the attack, Trump made a public appearance at the RNC convention on Monday night, with his injured ear covered by a bandage. Lara Trump, who has been strategically placed by her father-in-law to play a significant role in his political endeavors, is expected to address the convention crowd.
