Maryland Trump Delegate Indicted on Child Pornography, Weapons Charges

Source: NBC News

A Maryland man selected to be a delegate for Donald Trump has been indicted on charges of child pornography as well as the illegal possession of a machine gun and the illegal transportation of explosives.

The Department of Justice announced Thursday that Caleb Andrew Bailey of Waldorf, Maryland, had been indicted by a federal grand jury. He is charged with using a minor to produce child pornography for a period of time from March 2015 to January 2016, as well as with possessing child pornography.

Authorities investigated Bailey after he allegedly attempted to mail a package containing weapons and explosive materials. When authorities raided his home in May, they seized a machine gun.

A spokesman for the Maryland Republican Party confirmed to NBC News that the same individual slated to be a Trump delegate from the fifth congressional district is the one referenced in the DOJ report. Bailey won the slot by being directly elected on Maryland's ballot last month.
