The New Jersey AG is investigating whether Trump is still eligible to obtain liquor licenses at any of his three golf clubs in the state after being convicted of a felony.

NBC News reported:
The New Jersey Attorney General's Office is investigating the liquor license eligibility of three Trump-owned golf courses after former President Donald Trump was convicted of felonies in New York, officials confirmed Tuesday.
The three properties being reviewed by Attorney General Matthew Platkin and the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division, part of the AG's office, are Bedminster, Pine Hill and Colts Neck.
“ABC is reviewing the impact of President Trump’s conviction on the licenses referenced above and declines to comment further at this time,” an ABC spokesperson said in a statement.
The Trump campaign claims there is nothing to consider because the former president does not own a liquor license. However, New Jersey law states that a liquor license can be revoked if you are convicted of a crime of moral turpitude. Does it matter if the license is in someone else's name but Trump owns the property?
We'll find out.
There are consequences even if the person convicted of a felony is a former president. Even though Trump illegally stored firearms in Florida for weeks after his conviction, he has already had to turn them over.
What we're seeing in big and small ways is that a convicted felon is impacting Donald Trump's life.
