New Jersey Dem AG investigates revoking Trump’s liquor licenses at golf courses following NYC conviction

A spokeswoman for New Jersey AG Matthew Platkin’s office said that it is reviewing whether Trump’s conviction on the 34 felony counts would impact his ability to hold the licenses, according to NBC 10. State law says that those who have been convicted of a crime "involving moral turpitude" are prohibited from holding a liquor license.

Trump owns three gold courses in New Jersey, all of which have an active liquor license, with locations in Bedminster, Colts Neck, and Pine Hill.

A spokeswoman for the New Jersey Division of Alcohol Beverage Control, which is part of the attorney general’s office, said the office is "reviewing the impact of President Trump’s conviction on the above referenced licenses, and declines further comment at this time."

Part of what goes into that calculation of whether a license holder can retain their license is a requirement that “a person must have a reputable character and would be expected to operate the licensed business in a reputable manner,'' according to the division.

The division’s handbook describes "moral turpitude" as "a serious crime from the viewpoint of society in general and usually contains elements of dishonesty, fraud or depravity."

In late May, Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsified business records after trial that lasted over a month. Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention where he is set to formally be named the party’s nominee for November.
