Jonathan Braun, a violent felon whose prison sentence was commuted by President Trump, has been arrested again for violating release terms, including allegations of child assault. In court, Judge Matsumoto expressed concerns about Braun's behavior and potential danger to others, ordering him to remain in custody without bail.

Despite a past conviction for smuggling marijuana, Braun attempted predatory lending after his release, indicating a return to criminal activities following presidential intervention.
