New Jersey regulators have scheduled a hearing on July 19 to determine the renewal of liquor licenses for two of former President Donald Trump’s golf clubs following his felony conviction in New York. According to a spokesperson from the New Jersey attorney general’s office, state law prohibits individuals convicted of crimes involving moral turpitude from holding liquor licenses.
In May, Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in a New York court, making him the first former US president to be convicted of a felony. Prosecutors alleged that he falsified records to conceal a payment made to an adult film actress to prevent her from disclosing an alleged affair with Trump before the 2016 election, a claim Trump has denied.
