Mob Associate Whose 10-Year Sentence Commuted By Trump Jailed For Assault Of Three-Year-Old Boy
Gang Land Exclusive! Jonathan BraunJonathan Braun, a violent drug dealing Gambino associate whose 10 year prison sentence was commuted by Donald Trump on the last day of his first term as POTUS, was arrested and jailed last week following a series of threats and assaults against his wife, her 75-year-old father, a nurse, a nanny, and a three-year-old boy, Gang Land has learned.

The Brooklyn U.S. Attorney's Office moved quickly to jail Braun on federal charges linked to his commuted sentence a few days after his release on $25,000 cash bail on state assault charges against a father and his three-year-old son. "It was alarming that the victim was a three-year-old child," said a knowledgeable source. "Braun's behavior was becoming more violent," the source said.

Since Friday, Braun, who made millions of dollars in the lucrative Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) industry with Gambino mobster Robert Giardina between 2015 and 2020 — much of it illegally, according to the Federal Trade Commission — has been housed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as a danger to the community.
