“Jonathan Braun, whose drug sentence was commuted by Donald Trump shortly before he left office, was charged on Long Island, the latest incident to raise questions of how clemency applications were vetted,” the New York Times reports.
“Police on Long Island arrested Mr. Braun after he allegedly punched his 75-year-old father-in-law in the head.
Mr. Braun struck his father-in-law twice as he tried to protect his daughter from Mr. Braun, who was chasing after her while the couple had an argument in their home.”“Mr. Braun’s wife, according to court documents, told police that Mr. Braun had assaulted her twice in the past five weeks.”
