Republicans in the Senate warned New York Judge Juan Merchan to avoid sentencing former president Donald Trump to prison or house arrest, which could hinder the anticipated GOP nominee from campaigning before the elections in November.
The fate of Trump rests largely on Merchan's decision about sentencing the former president on the 34 felony counts following his conviction. Merchan is bound to deliver the sentence on July 11, which is only days away from the GOP Convention in Milwaukee, The Hill reported.
