Barron Trump, the 18-year-old son of former President Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump, has been selected as Florida's delegate to the Republican National Convention.

Barron Trump was one of several members of the Trump family chosen as general delegates, including his brothers Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and sister Tiffany Trump, according to a list released Wednesday by the Florida Republican Party.

Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has been in court most days in recent weeks as his trial continues in New York. The judge in charge of this case, however, gave him permission late last month to attend Barron Trump's high school graduation, scheduled for May 17.
