Staff Reports
First son Hunter Biden, a Yale Law School graduate, was recently found guilty of federal firearm felonies, including lying on a federal form about his drug use to purchase a handgun illegally. This conviction has led to the suspension of his law license in Washington D.C., and potential disbarment if his appeal is unsuccessful. It is worth noting that this is not the first time Biden has faced legal issues, as his license in Connecticut was previously suspended for a minor administrative fee.
The D.C. Court of Appeals issued an order suspending Biden from practicing law in the district due to his conviction for a serious crime. The order cited various offenses that could lead to such suspension, including improper conduct, false swearing, misrepresentation, and fraud. The court directed the D.C. Board of Professional Responsibility to conduct a formal proceeding to determine the nature of the offense and whether it involves moral turpitude.

Furthermore, Biden faces a sentencing hearing for his federal gun crimes, which could result in a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and a substantial fine. However, given his status as a first-time offender and potential leniency due to his family name, he may receive a shorter sentence. President Joe Biden stated that he would not pardon his son, and Hunter Biden’s defense attorney had already filed a motion for a new trial and planned to appeal the conviction.
While Biden and his legal team have not publicly commented on the suspension of his law license, the situation continues to unfold as he navigates the legal repercussions of his actions.
