With all the news today, tonight’s rally in West Virginia could be bonkers:

And ahead of the rally, Sen. Chuck Schumer issued this warning to the president: “he better not talk about pardons for Michael Cohen or Manafort tonight, or in the future”:

Or what, Chuck?
The president did talk to reporters on the ground, saying “I feel really bad for Paul Manafort” but “it has nothing to do with Russian collusion”:
HAPPENING NOW. Trump: "It has nothing to do with Russian collusion…It's a witch hunt and a disgrace… I feel very badly for Paul Manafort."

More from Trump on Manafort: "It was not the original mission, believe me…had nothing to do with Russian collusion. We continue the witch hunt. Thank you very much." He walks away.
