Felon freed by trump sentenced again after new offenses

On November 12, 2025, a federal judge in Brooklyn sentenced Jonathan Braun to **27 months in prison** after he committed several offenses following a previous sentence commutation by former President Donald Trump.

Braun, who had a long criminal history including drug trafficking and money laundering convictions, was freed after his prison sentence was commuted. After his release, prosecutors charged him with multiple offenses, including **sexual assault of a nanny**, physical assault involving an IV pole against a nurse, and other violations of law. A federal court ultimately ordered Braun back to prison for the fresh criminal conduct.
