One of the loudest chants at the 2016 Republican National Convention has been "Lock Her Up," in reference to Clinton. Some convention speakers have said Clinton should be in prison over her mishandling of classified information.

Sessions, who was the first senator to endorse Trump during a Madison rally in February, has played an influential role at the convention. He gave a speech in prime time in support of Trump, formally nominated Trump for president, and serves as the co-chair of the Alabama delegation.

He also serves as chairman of the Trump campaign's national security advisory committee.
