A recent source has revealed that Judge Juan Merchan is considering various options that do not necessarily involve sending former President Donald Trump to prison. The judge has made it clear that he is hesitant to take such drastic measures for Trump's violation of a gag order issued on Monday morning, but he may feel compelled to do so if the breaches persist.
Instead of immediate imprisonment, the source suggests that Judge Merchan could opt for alternative measures, such as briefly detaining Trump. This could involve placing him in a holding cell located behind the courtroom for a short period, with the possibility of increasing the duration if Trump continues to disregard the gag order.
