The New Jersey Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has announced that it will be reviewing the liquor licenses held by former President Donald Trump in the state. This comes after numerous allegations of misconduct and violations at Trump-owned establishments.
According to a statement released by the ABC, they will be conducting a thorough review of all liquor licenses held by businesses owned by Trump or members of his family. The review will look into any past or current violations of state laws and regulations.
This move by the ABC comes after several incidents at Trump’s properties raised concerns about the handling of alcohol and potential violations of the state’s liquor laws. In 2017, a woman was arrested at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster for driving under the influence after reportedly drinking heavily at a wedding held at the club.
In addition, there have been several reports of over-serving and disorderly conduct at various Trump-owned properties in New Jersey. These incidents have raised questions about whether proper training and monitoring procedures were being followed by staff at these establishments.
The ABC has stated that they take their role in regulating alcohol sales and consumption very seriously and will not hesitate to take action if any violations are found during their review. This could potentially result in fines, suspensions, or even revocation of liquor licenses for Trump-owned businesses.
The review is expected to be completed in the coming weeks and the results will be made public. The ABC has also urged anyone with information about potential violations at these establishments to come forward and share their concerns.
This latest development adds to the growing list of legal troubles facing the former President and his family’s businesses. From ongoing investigations into tax fraud and financial misconduct to allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination, it appears that Trump’s time in office may have just been the tip of the iceberg.
