New Jersey Governor Seeking to Revoke Trump Golf Course Liquor Licenses

BEDMINSTER, NJ – The plan is coming together for the left. Secure a conviction on former President Donald J. Trump in a New York City courtroom, and begin dismantling the Democrat’s biggest obstacle in 2024.

Now, the State of New Jersey, led by Governor Phil Murphy and Attorney General Matt Platkin are looking to seize upon an opportunity.

Today, it was reported that the New Jersey Attorney General’s office is currently investigating if Donald Trump’s felony convictions disqualify him from holding liquor licenses at his three state golf courses. The investigation follows Trump’s conviction on 34 felony charges, including payments of hush money to a p-rn star and falsifying business records.

The state’s Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control is assessing whether these convictions affect Trump’s ability to maintain his liquor licenses. This division, under the attorney general’s office, is handling the review but has not provided further details at this stage.

Under New Jersey law, individuals convicted of a crime involving “moral turpitude” are barred from holding liquor licenses. The division’s handbook defines “moral turpitude” as a serious crime generally viewed by society as involving dishonesty, fraud, or depravity.

Trump, who no longer owns casinos in Atlantic City, holds active liquor licenses for his golf courses located in Bedminster, Colts Neck, and Pine Hill. The former president is set to be sentenced on July 11 in the New York case, amidst preparations for the upcoming November general election.
