Judge Jails Clemency Recipient after Child Assault Arrest

Jonathan Braun is both a convicted drug dealer and a predatory lender

On Friday, a New York federal judge ordered the jailing of convicted drug dealer and predatory lender Jonathan Braun, whose 10-year prison sentence was commuted in 2021 by President Donald Trump, after a string of arrests over the past seven months.

Braun was arrested last weekend on Long Island on state charges of assaulting an acquaintance and that man’s three-year-old child, The New York Times revealed Tuesday.

Before that, he was arrested multiple other times on state charges, including for allegedly assaulting his wife and his 75-year-old father-in-law, groping a nanny’s breast, menacing healthcare workers with an IV pole at a Long Island hospital and petty larceny, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn.
