During a campaign rally in Las Vegas on Saturday, Donald Trump accused former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) of helping an effort to keep Trump from securing the nomination at the Republican convention in July.

“By the way, Jeb is working on the movement, just so you understand,” Trump said, according to The Hill. “Jeb is one of the people that’s working — and the other one should be obvious.”

Trump was referencing a report that some Republican delegates are pushing for rules changes at the convention that would allow delegates to become unbound and then keep Trump from securing the presidential nomination.

Trump told the Las Vegas crowd that such a coup would never work.

“First of all, it’s illegal. Second of all, you can’t do it. Third of all, we, not me, we got 13, almost 14 million votes since the primary system,” he said, according to The Hill.

The Republican National Committee on Friday denied that there is any effort to keep Trump from winning the nomination, describing the reported effort as “a media creation and a series of tweets.”
