“He better not talk about pardons or Michael Cohen or Paul Manafort tonight or any time in the future,” Schumer told reporters at the start of a press conference on his meeting with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The campaign rally in West Virginia will come hours after Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer, pleaded guilty to charges of bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance law violations. Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, was found guilty by a jury on Tuesday of eight counts of bank and tax fraud.

Schumer declined to further discuss Cohen's plea or the verdicts, noting he had been in a meeting with Kavanaugh and wasn’t fully briefed on both events.
