Donald Trump on Saturday accused Jeb Bush of mounting a convention coup against him, after reports that Republican delegates who don’t personally support Trump are looking for ways to avoid voting for him this summer.
“By the way, Jeb is working on the movement, just so you understand,” Trump said to supporters at a rally in Las Vegas.
“Jeb is one of the people that’s working — and the other one should be obvious,” he said, though he didn’t elaborate further.
Earlier at the rally, however, Trump echoed the Republican National Committee and said the reports were a media hoax.
“It’s all made up by the press, folks. It’s a hoax,” Trump said. “This is a story — who are they going to pick? I beat everybody. I beat the hell out of them.”

The RNC denied those efforts Friday night, calling it a “media creation.”
