The Wall Street Journal reports that the GOP presidential front-runner's campaign had tapped Jerry DeLemus as an alternate delegate for New Hampshire. But DeLemus is facing nine charges related to the standoff in which armed ranchers, led by Cliven Bundy, tried to force the federal government to give up its claims to grazing fees on federal lands.

DeLemus is currently in jail, and he would only be called upon to go to the convention if one of the initial delegates is unable to attend. A Trump spokeswoman told the newspaper she did not know whether DeLemus would remain as an alternate.

The Journal had previously reported that Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was also chosen as one of Trump's main delegates for New Hampshire.
