Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

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.
