Donald Trump said Saturday morning that the speaking slots at the upcoming Republican National Convention are “totally filled” and will be announced Wednesday.
“The speakers slots at the Republican Convention are totally filled, with a long waiting list of those that want to speak – Wednesday release,” he tweeted.

{mosads}Trump’s tweet came as he was attacking the New York Times over a report claiming that preparations for the GOP convention are chaotic.
“At one point, two aides confirmed, Mr. Trump was not even aware that the event had to be held in Cleveland, a decision made almost two years ago by the Republican National Committee,” the Times reported.
Trump called the report a lie in another Saturday morning tweet:
Just read in the failing @nytimes that I was not aware "the event had to be held in Cleveland" – a total lie. These people are sick!
