Day two of the Republican National Convention is underway in Cleveland. Here’s what’s happened so far and what is to come.
-Donald Trump's presidential campaign has no plans to fire anybody or to take any disciplinary action against anyone for the Melania Trump speech plagiarism controversy, CNN learned Tuesday.
-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort denied allegations that Melania plagiarized a Michelle Obama speech, calling the accusation "just really absurd."
-The campaign manager Donald Trump fired last month, Corey Lewandowski, says the person responsible for writing Melania Trump's campaign speech should be fired.
- New Jersey governor and Trump ally Chris Christie defended the speech, saying, "There's no way that Melania Trump was plagiarizing Michelle Obama's speech."
-Sean Spicer, the Republican National Committee's chief strategist, invoked "My Little Pony" in defending the speech in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
-White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest addressed the allegations saying, "As it relates to Mrs. Trump's speech, I'll let all of you weigh in on all of that and try to learn more about how exactly it was written."
What to watch for tonight:
-There's a major piece of business: Officially nominating Trump for president and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence for vice president. The roll call begins at 6 p.m. ET.
-Speeches from Ben Carson and top congressional Republicans, including Speaker Paul Ryan.
-Also, look on the podium for Chris Christie, who just lost out in the vice presidential sweepstakes, a couple of Trump’s children and non-political speakers, including UFC president Dana White.
