Donald Trump's Liquor Licenses At NJ Golf Clubs In Jeopardy

NEW JERSEY — Former President Donald Trump is at risk of losing his liquor licenses at his New Jersey golf clubs following his conviction on all 34 felony counts in his criminal hush money trial.

A spokesperson with the New Jersey Attorney General’s Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control confirmed to Patch that the "ABC is reviewing the impact of President Trump’s conviction" on his three liquor licenses in New Jersey.

Trump's three active licenses in the Garden State include:

• 3403-40-346-001 – Trump National Golf Club Colts Neck LLC
• 3403-40-137-001 – Lamington Farm Club LLC
• 0428-33-003-004 – TNGC Pine Hill LLC

New Jersey law(N.J.S.A. 33:1-25) states "no license of any class shall be issued to any person under the age of 18 years or to any person who has been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude."

Specifically, the language regarding being a "reputable person" includes that "a person must have a reputable character and would be expected to operate the licensed business in a reputable manner."

Trump was convicted on May 30 after about two days of deliberations. Sentencing is set for July 11, which is days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

At the heart of the charges are reimbursements paid to Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen for a $130,000 hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels in exchange for not going public with her claim about a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump.

Prosecutors say the reimbursements were falsely logged as "legal expenses" to hide the true nature of the transactions.

The charges Trump faces are punishable by up to four years in prison. He has denied all wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty.

The case is the first of Trump’s four indictments to reach trial and is the first-ever criminal case against a former U.S. president.
