Last month, former United States President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business documents in an effort to cover up a hush money payment in 2016. And it sounds like there’s a chance that those convictions could cause a pretty significant problem for Trump and his golf courses,
The New Jersey Attorney General’s Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control has confirmed that it’s reviewing the liquor licenses for properties owned by Donald Trump as a result of his convictions and there is a chance that he could have his liquor licenses revoked. This includes Trump National Golf Club Colts Neck and Trump National Golf Club Pine Hill.
“ABC is reviewing the impact of President Trump’s conviction on the above referenced licenses, and declines further comment at this time,” New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin’s office said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
New Jersey state could pose a problem for Trump, who is now a convicted felon.
“No license of any class shall be issued to any person under the age of 18 years or to any person who has been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude,” the law reads.
Needless to say, this problem led to a lot of reactions on social media.

Given the nature of Trump’s felony conviction, that could be a pretty terrible problem for the former president and it could lead to him losing his liquor license for his New Jersey golf courses.
