Since being given clemency by Trump, Braun has been accused of punching his wife and father-in-law in the head, groping a womans breast while touching himself, assaulting a nurse, and threatening a synagogue attendee who requested he be quiet during a service.
Braun has ties to the Kushners.

"At the time, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly said in a statement that her office disagreed with the judges decision to release Braun. Sources told Newsday that family members later became reluctant to cooperate in the case." /
