N.J. seeks to revoke liquor license for one of Trump's golf clubs
Source: Washington Post
The state of New Jersey is seeking to revoke the liquor license for one of President Trump’s golf clubs — a rare and potentially damaging punishment, triggered by a 2015 case where the Trump club allegedly over-served alcohol to a man who then caused a fatal wreck. That proposed punishment was laid out in an Oct. 21 letter to the Trump golf course in Colts Neck, N.J. The Washington Post obtained the letter through a public-records request.
The office of New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal, which sent the letter, declined to comment about the letter. Grewal was appointed in 2018 by Gov. Phil Murphy (D). The letter gives few details about the alleged misconduct by Trump’s course. The man that the club is accused of over-serving — Andrew G. Halder — caused a wreck that killed his own father and last year pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide. Trump’s company was given 30 days to challenge the planned revocation.
If the state’s Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control does decide to revoke the license, Trump can challenge that decision in court or try to get it reinstated in two years. The Trump Organization did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday. If the club’s liquor license is revoked, that would be a blow for the Colts Neck course, located near the Jersey Shore. The club could lose significant revenue from the two restaurants and a bar it operates for members, and find it hard to attract banquets or golf tournaments from outsiders.
But for Trump, the potential damage is greater than that. Under New Jersey law, anyone who has one liquor license revoked must also give up all their other liquor licenses for two years. Trump has two other New Jersey golf clubs, including the one in Bedminster, N.J., that he uses as a summer White House. Now, he could be faced with losing a key source of revenue at those clubs, too.

...losing the liquor licenses would have nothing to do with him, right? 
He’s such a big titty baby....LOL!
that he kept the D.C. & NY locations for himself and pawned off the Jersey locations to his boys. 
in FL was not just a "state issue" because there would be an impact on the Electoral College, which is something that is covered in the U.S. Constitution (along with other Constitutional issues related to how the state law was being applied). I.e., Shrub and FL (thanks to Jeb) found all kinds of loopholes to invoke based on their state laws and state Constitution.
In this case in New Jersey, the granting or withholding of liquor licenses is not something the SCOTUS might want to set a precedent for considering the number of "states rights" members on there. If Drumpf can show that other facilities are not treated the same for similar violations, then they might be to argue the "Equal Protection" clause. But the state board revokes licenses for all types of things including for facilities acting as illegal drug storage and peddling or for illegal cockfighting.
The state law is pretty fascinating though and there are all kinds of things that can prompt a revocation -
(“N.J.A.C. TOX1 Sale of alcoholic 15 30 45 Revocation
13:2-23.1(b) beverages to an intoxicated patron”)

And there is a process that establishments would normally follow to appeal with the board, so blowing that process off only makes it worse. Basically, regardless of the outcome, this will cost money in legal fees to adjudicate.
Of course here in neighboring PA, we are way worse because we have a dwindling few "Blue Laws" still left on the books although those are slowly being chipped away (but people often head over the bridge to Jersey to purchase).

Of course this is where seeing those taxes would come in handy.
(not the federal government)
if one license is revoked, then ALL of them will automatically get revoked too!
He now has 29 or 28 days (depending on when they sent the notice) to respond if they choose to appeal the board's conclusion.
