Trump to hold midday rally in Vegas despite fears of more heat exhaustion among fans: Live updates

Donald Trump is set to hold a valley in Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon.

The rally will be held at 12pm local time, 3pm EST, and will be inexplicably held outdoors, despite Las Vegas having notoriously high summer temperatures. Las Vegas’s high on Sunday is 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The venue will reportedly allow water bottles and small umbrellas for those attending.

Meanwhile, the judge presiding over Trump’s hush money trial has alerted prosecutors and defense counsel about a Facebook comment from an apparent social media troll announcing a conviction one day before a jury handed down a guilty verdict. The comment has since been deleted.

A brief letter from New York Justice Juan Merchan on Friday tells the parties that the court “became aware of a comment” from a user named “Michael Anderson” that states: “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted … Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”

This week Trump also took part in a wild interview with TV psychologist Dr Phil in which the Republican presidential candidate proclaimed that “sometimes revenge can be justified” as he looked ahead to a theoretical second term in the White House.

Dr Phil largely adhered to Trump’s conspiracy-laden point-of-view allowing false claims to pass unchecked, particularly regarding his recent conviction.
