Jonathan Braun, after receiving a commuted sentence from President Trump, has been implicated in multiple legal troubles, culminating in a recent arrest for assault. This marked his fourth arrest since his release. Braun, previously involved in marijuana smuggling, has returned to predatory lending, facing legal sanctions from judges. His connections to the Trump administration, notably through Jared Kushner and Charles Kushner, played a significant role in securing his clemency. However, his criminal record has since worsened, including serious allegations of violence and inappropriate behavior toward individuals, including a child.
Mr. Braun, a major player in the predatory lending business, was arrested on Long Island for assaulting an acquaintance and his 3-year-old child, marking his fourth arrest since commutation.
Since being freed by Mr. Trump, Mr. Braun returned to predatory lending, but faced bans by judges for deceptive practices and continued to accumulate criminal charges.
Mr. Braun's clemency was facilitated by connections to Charles Kushner, and Jared Kushner's office drafted the commutation announcement, demonstrating problematic ties to the Trump administration.
Braun has faced serious accusations including the assault of his wife and father-in-law, inappropriate behavior towards a nanny, and threats against synagogue congregants.
