Trump Liquor Licenses News

New Jersey regulators will hold a hearing next month on whether two golf courses owned by former President Donald Trump should have their liquor licenses renewed following his felony conviction in May in New York.

The licenses for Trump golf courses in Colts Neck and Bedminster expire Sunday. The state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control said Friday it is not renewing the licenses, but it is issuing temporary 90-day permits to allow them to continue serving alcohol until a hearing on the licenses is held on July 19 in Trenton.

"During such a hearing, the applicant bears the burden of proof to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that they remain qualified to maintain licensure, which includes a review of any beneficiaries of the licenses," the state Attorney General's office said in a statement. At issue is whether Trump's conviction violates New Jersey's prohibition on anyone holding a liquor license who has been convicted of a crime involving "moral turpitude."

But the state Attorney General's office said that "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."
