Two of Former President Donald Trump's golf courses in New Jersey were denied liquor license renewals following his conviction on 34 felonies in New York two months ago.

New Jersey's Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) said Friday they were issuing temporary 90-day permits that will allow the clubs to continue serving alcohol pending the outcome of a scheduled hearing on July 19 in Trenton.

The Trump Organization called the hearing "unwarranted and unjustified" according to news reports.

The two golf clubs in New Jersey whose liquor licenses expired July 1, 2024 are Trump National Colts Neck and Trump National Bedminster. The license for Trump National Philadelphia, in Pine Hill, New Jersey was renewed by the municipality.

The liquor license hearing is scheduled after Trump's upcoming sentencing in New York on July 11.

After Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in May, ABC is looking into New Jersey law that prohibits convicted criminals "involving moral turpitude" from holding a liquor license, according to official news sources.
