WATCH LIVE: Trump Holds Rally Amidst Manafort and Cohen Bombshells

President Trump is set to hold a campaign rally speech in Charleston, West Virginia tonight in order in support of Patrick Morrisey‘s senate campaign against Democratic incumbent Joe Manchin.

The event is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EST, coming just hours after bombshell developments in the cases against former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort.

Beyond Trump’s greatest hits, it’s likely he’ll take time tonight to address the groundbreaking news. Cohen, his former personal attorney, pled guilty to bank fraud, tax evasion, and violations of campaign finance laws for paying off a porn star and a Playboy model claiming to have had affairs with Trump. Meanwhile, Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, plead guilty to eight counts of financial crimes in his own trial.

Trump addressed the Manafort verdict when he arrived in West Virginia, but did not make any remarks on Cohen:
