Shirley, to pretty woman, we remember the legendary Garry Marshall. Nightly news starts right now. The Republican National convention. This is nbc nightly news with lester holt, reporting tonight from cleveland. Good evening. After two nights largely dedicated to reasons why Hillary Clinton should not be president , we may hear the case for donald trump tonight, when his vicepresident ial running mate, governor mike pence, takes the stage in primetime. Its the latest shoe that dropped in the Melania Trump speech controversy dominating the buzz here this evening all because the campaign itself breathed new life into the embarrassing flap today when it acknowledged passages of her speech were in fact lifted from Michelle Obamas 28th convention address. Katy tur has late details. Reporter donald cleveland, stepping off his helicopter to his awaiting family. Noticeably absent, trumps wife, melania, 36 hours after she was accused of plagiarism and after repeated deni denials, team trump finally admitted that the speech was in fact plagiarized from Michelle Obamas 2008 address. A person she always liked was obama, staff member, Meredith Mciver said in her resignation literary and said over the phone she read me some passages of mrs. Obamas speech. I wrote them down. This was my mistake. Mciver, a registered democrat, took the fall, but donald trump rejected the resignation, later tweeting all press is good press. To roll in here and not be prepared for basic stuff like speech copy or other plagiarism mistakes is a very troubling sign. Reporter trump is now officially the nominee but the star at his own convention is Hillary Clinton. Hillary clinton. Hillary clinton. Hillary clinton. Is she guilty or not guilty . Reporter Chris Christie fired up the crowd with a mock prosecution. Lets do something fun tonight. Tonight, as a former federal prosecutor i welcome the opportunity to hold Hillary Rodham clinton accountable for her performance and her character. Lock her up. Lock her up. Reporter ben carson linked her to the devil and Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan barely mentioned trumps name. The republican machine clearly more comfortable trashing their rye van than talking about the nominee. Trump even getting boos today going over a cruz rally. On the trump team from the start serving as cochair. Hillary clinton should be put in front of a firing line and shot for treason. Reporter trump disavowed the comment. Says theyre looking into it. Yesterday was completely on Hillary Clinton, very few people were ex stopping trumps virtues. Part of the unity process were going through to get people to understand we all need to get behind donald trump. If we dont, we will have Hillary Clinton for president. Reporter tonight, ted cruz will address the convention. As of now, he is not expected to endorse donald trump. Also, on stage, Donald Trumps second son, eric, and his new running mate, indiana governor, mike pence. Lester. Katy tur tonight. Thanks. As we look ahead to tonights events inside this arena, we should note tension have erupted outside, fights broken out and a flag burning protest. It happened in an area not sanctioned for demonstrati demonstrations. Police moved in and used pepper spray to disburse the crowd and a number of people taken away in handcuffs and arrested. Is trusting the focus will turn to his running mate overshadowed by trump in an awkward introduction announcement and later tv interview. This time, governor mike pence will have the stage all to himself in front of a national tv audience. Heres nbcs hallie jackson. Reporter Donald Trumps name, practically everywhere. His running mate, not so much as saturday night live found out. Reporter can you tell us which one is mike pence . Isnt that him . Reporter a young jay leno. Governor mike pence still a mystery to many. Im a christian, republican and conservative, in that order. Reporter he will step out into his own spotlight that highlights how different they are. Trump often brags. We will win ohio. Reporter pence often prays. Permit me to give thanks to god. Reporter trump criticized the war in iraq, pence voted for it. Trump married three times, pence, none of it phasing many supporters like indiana senator, dan coates. A lot of us are like that including my own. Weve build off each others strengths and recognized each our own weaknesses. Reporter pence started in talk radio. I thank god for you. The flag ought to be flying out on the front steps. Reporter before being elected to congress, in his 12 years there not one of his bills or resolutions became law. Still, as one of the top house leaders, he built a relationship then that could help the ticket now. This is a movement conservative. Its time to pick a fight. Reporter still popular with the tea partiers who helped him win indianas governorship in 13 2013, pence is best known nationally for controversial religious freedoms bill and his controversy at conservative partly why trump picked pence to bring out the party. I suspect it was much more about satisfying the donor base within the Republican Party than any sort of gi grohhic attraction geographic attraction. Reporter our new survey online poll says 4 in 10 conservatives dont know enough about pence to have an opinion on him. That will probably change tonight when pences indiana delegation joins the rest of the convention and the country in watching the biggest speech of pences life. Lester. All right, hallie, thank you. Lets bring in our primetime team, chuck todd and savannah guthrie. We thought the melania speech controversy had pretty much reached its end, new life breathed into it with that announcement. Does she get a pass, the staffer takes the fall . She picked up the phrases . I have to say with political spouses we should give benefit of the doubt. Today, they announced, yes, it was taken from Michelle Obamas speech, and, two, it was in fact melani standard this was a source of inspiration. But it was a staffer who ultimately allowed that language to be in there. Could melania have noticed it . Perhaps. What i dont believe is she intentionally plagiarized and thought she would get away with it. To me, the real infraction here is the staff work that allowed this to go on 36 hours that allowed multiple republican surrogates to deny obvious reality and say that wasnt from Michelle Obamas speech only to turn around and breathe new life into it at the very moment everybody was moving on. It was a little odd. Let me turn to chuck. Were talking about mike pence. You say watch ted cruz. I do. Remember, he finished with more delegates officially than any runnerup at a Republican Convention since a guy named Ronald Reagan in 1976. Ted cruz has his hes not satisfied with losing one race for the presidency. Hes got his eyes on running some day again. This is going to be a crowd that is going to be with him. He is going to have could argue there are more cruz fans in here than there are trump fans. There may be more Trump Delegates but they love ted cruz. He could become a more dominant and popular figure tonight than mike pence. Thats something the Trump Campaign ought to be a little concerned about. All right. A lot to watch.
