Jonathan Braun, released after Trump clemency, returned to prison in Nov. 2025 for threatening acts and violating parole, sentenced to 27 months.
Jonathan Braun, a Long Island man granted clemency by President Trump in 2021 after serving a year of a 10-year drug trafficking sentence, was returned to federal prison in November 2025 for violating release conditions.
He was sentenced to 27 months after new charges including threatening a hospital nurse, assaulting his family’s nanny, and threatening a synagogue member.
Braun apologized in court, citing substance abuse and mental health struggles, and credited his time in custody with helping him get sober.
Victims expressed trauma, but some described him as mentally ill rather than a hardened criminal.
Prosecutors argued he remained a danger, while his defense highlighted rehabilitation efforts.
Judge Kiyo Matsumoto sentenced him to 27 months, urging him not to waste the chance to rebuild his life.
