Donald Trump's liquor licenses at risk in New Jersey after felony convictions

The State of New Jersey is reviewing whether Donald Trump’s recent convictions will impact his liquor licenses at his golf courses. The New Jersey attorney general’s office is investigating if Trump's felony convictions in New York make him ineligible to hold liquor licenses due to state law prohibiting anyone convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude from holding such licenses. Trump owns golf courses in Bedminster, Colts Neck, and Pine Hill in New Jersey, each with an active liquor license. The investigation is ongoing, and further comments have been declined at this time. Other states where Trump sells alcohol have similar regulations, but workarounds may prevent issues. In California, Trump transferred his liquor license to his son in 2017, potentially avoiding violations. In Florida, his conviction may violate a moral-character rule, but no response has been received from state authorities. Las Vegas, where Trump co-owns a hotel, has looser rules on felony convictions for liquor licenses. Enforcement of violations could vary depending on local officials' discretion. In Washington, D.C., a petition to cancel Trump's hotel's liquor license based on character requirements did not result in any action.
