Business Insider reports:
The liquor licenses for Donald Trump’s three New Jersey golf courses are in his eldest son’s name, not his own, according to records obtained by Business Insider. But hiding behind Donald Trump, Jr. isn’t enough to protect the elder Trump.
On Friday, state officials said Trump’s new felony record bars him from profiting from the licenses. They announced they will not renew the licenses for Trump National Bedminster and Trump National Golf Club in Colts Neck due to last month’s felony hush-money conviction.
“A review by ABC indicates that Mr. Trump maintains a direct beneficial interest in the three liquor licenses through the receipt of revenues and profits from them, as the sole beneficiary of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust,” the AG’s spokesperson said.
The New York Times reports:
New Jersey law will not grant liquor licenses to “any person who has been convicted of a crime of moral turpitude,” and applicants have the burden of evidence to prove that they are qualified.
Mr. Trump also owns Trump National Golf Club Philadelphia in Pine Hill, a New Jersey suburb. That club’s municipally regulated license to sell bottles of alcohol was renewed by the borough on June 3.
The final judgment on whether to disqualify Mr. Trump from holding those licenses must wait for his sentencing on the felony cases on July 11, according to the statement from the attorney general. The clubs will be allowed to serve drinks until July 19 on an interim basis, it said.
