Jonathan Braun, who was granted clemency by former President Trump in January 2021, is in jail without bail after being accused of assaulting a three-year-old child. Since his release, Braun has been arrested multiple times in recent months, prompting a judge's alarm over his violent behavior and concerns for public safety. As Braun faces serious allegations, including attacks on family members and menacing hospital staff, federal prosecutors are moving to potentially return him to prison. The case raises questions about the clemency process used during Trump's administration.
Federal prosecutors argued a rash of alleged crimes violated the terms of Braun's supervised release, while a judge expressed concern for a pattern of violent behavior.
Following his latest arrest for the alleged assault of a child, Judge Kiyo Matsumoto emphasized the potential for real harm, confirming Braun's hold without bail.
