This Week In Gang Land

Feds & Drug Dealer Freed By Trump Go At Each Other In Filings, And In Court Today 

Gang Land Exclusive!Jonathan BraunThe feds say they already proved that a convicted drug-dealing Gambino associate whose prison term was commuted by President Trump should return to prison for sexually abusing his live-in nanny. And they still intend to prove that he assaulted a three-year old boy whose father has refused to testify at the hearing that resumes today. 

The prosectors are planning to have a Nassau County police officer testify the boy's father stated that Jonathan Braun punched him and assaulted his young son on March 29 at a Sabbath service at his home — and introduce pictures of the boy provided by the father, as well as photos of the father that a cop took when interviewing him for an arrest complaint against Braun. 

Braun's attorney objected strongly to the government's claim that he sexually abused the nanny and asked the judge to both dismiss that charge and block prosecutors from letting a police officer testify about the assault on the three year-old boy. The lawyer also ripped the government for reaching back to charge Braun with wrongdoing back in 2021 for something that he had received permission to do from the Probation Department.
