- Former President Donald Trump is now a felon after the recent verdict in his hush-money trial.
- That makes possession of a firearm a federal crime.
- Trump's New York license to carry a concealed weapon was already suspended last year, CNN reported.
Former President Donald Trump's New York license to carry a weapon is probably about to be revoked by the New York Police Department, CNN has reported.
A senior police official told CNN the NYPD was preparing to strip away the former president's license following his recent conviction in the hush-money trial. On May 30, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts related to payments made to Stormy Daniels.
Trump's felon status makes possession of a firearm a federal crime.
A spokesperson for the NYPD didn't immediately comment on the CNN story.
Multiple law-enforcement sources told CNN that Trump had had a concealed carry license from the NYPD for more than a decade.
But the license was suspended last year on April 1 after a New York grand jury voted to indict the former president, the senior police official said.
The official said Trump had a license to carry three pistols. Two of them were turned in to the police department last year on March 31, while the third gun "was lawfully moved to Florida," the source said.
Trump's recent conviction could put him in violation of state and federal laws if he still possesses the third weapon.
The senior police official said the NYPD's Legal Bureau was conducting an investigation "that will likely lead to revocation of his license."
New York state law allows individuals to challenge a license revocation within 90 days of receiving the notice.
A spokesperson for Trump didn't respond to a request for comment.
