Overview
- U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto resentenced Braun to 27 months in Brooklyn on Monday and warned him not to squander the opportunity to change.
- Time he has spent in federal custody since his April arrest will be credited toward the new term, and he remains jailed in Brooklyn.
- Prosecutors detailed alleged post-release incidents, including an IV‑pole threat at a hospital, groping of a nanny, a synagogue confrontation, and repeated toll evasion.
- The defense urged immediate release, citing sobriety, psychiatric treatment, religious counseling, and expressions of remorse tied to addiction and a psychiatric crisis.
- Braun’s original 10-year drug sentence from 2019 was cut short by Trump’s 2021 commutation, which left fines and supervision conditions that he later violated.
