The legal fallout from Donald Trump’s felony conviction has now reached New Jersey
Donald Trump a convicted felon, thanks to his criminal trial in New York. Even as he awaits his sentencing hearing on July 11th, the legal fallout from his conviction is already underway – and it’s spreading across state lines.
The state of New Jersey is now looking into revoking Donald Trump’s liquor licenses at his properties in the state, due to his status as a felon. Trump is claiming that it doesn’t apply because the licenses aren’t in his name. But that’s not really how anything works. As Trump is increasingly finding out the hard way, convicted felons can’t get away with things just by making up nonsense arguments. Trump has a reduced set of rights as a felon, and that’s a reality he can’t escape.
The kicker is that Trump is in danger of losing his New Jersey properties anyway. Once he finishes losing his appeal in his New York civil fraud trial, Attorney General Letitia James will seize however many properties necessary in order to satisfy Trump’s nearly half a billion dollar debt – and that includes his properties in other states.
