Trump critics call for revoke of DC hotel liquor license
‘Not a person of good character’ is a charge which has been leveled at President Trump many times before, but is now being used to stop the Hotelier in Chief making money from selling alcohol.
A number of prominent faith leaders and former judges have canvassed the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to revoke the Washington DC Trump International Hotel’s liquor licence.
They are questioning the President’s ‘character’ by dredging up his growing list of alleged misdeeds from conflicts of interest, making deceitful statements, ‘many outright racist comments,’ and shenanigans with a porn star.
Trump’s ‘egregious conduct’ should result in the hotel losing its license, they said.
The group is made up of ex-judges Joan Goldfrank and Henry Kennedy Jnr, Rabbis Jack Moline and Aaron Potek, and pastors Timothy Tee Boddie, Jennifer Butler and William Lamar IV.
Under the law a licensee should be ‘a person of good character.’
"There is no statutory exception for the rich or the powerful. He is subject to the same good character requirement that applies to all other licencees," the complaint said.
There is a slim chance of it succeeding as Trump’s two sons have assumed control of the Trump businesses.
Still, Trump is facing possible conflict of interest lawsuits over accepting money for stays by foreign politicians and US lawmakers at the Washington DC hotel.
