Donald Trump is scheduled to give the keynote address at the Minnesota Republican Party's annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner on May 17, the same day he requested off court to attend his son Barron Trump's graduation ceremony.
On April 30 Judge Merchan, who is presiding over the former president's Stormy Daniels hush money case, announced the court wouldn't sit on May 17, allowing Trump to attend the event. But the former president is also due to speak at the Minnesota GOP event on the same day, according to the KFGO radio station.
Trump is on trial in Manhattan on 34 felony charges, including falsifying business records, related to claims he orchestrated the payment of hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, ahead of the 2016 presidential election. The presumptive 2024 Republican presidential candidate has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies Daniels' claim that he had an affair with her in 2006.
Trump had complained on his Truth Social website that he could be forced to miss the graduation of his "wonderful son" Barron, who attends a private school in Florida, due to the hush money case. However Judge Merchan confirmed on April 30 that the court won't sit on this date, commenting: "I don't think May 17 is a problem."
The Republican Party of Minnesota's Lincoln Reagan Dinner, which Trump is hosting along with House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer, is taking place on the same day at St. Paul's RiverCentre.
In a statement Minnesota GOP chair David Hann commented: "We are thrilled to welcome President Trump back to Minnesota to headline our Lincoln Reagan dinner, an annual tradition that reminds us of the roots of our Party and the leaders who have been most impactful in promoting our American values."
