President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden may not be able to practice law in Washington, D.C. in the future, after a jury convicted him on felony gun charges last week, according to a new letter sent by disciplinary counsel in the district.
Last week, a jury in Wilmington, Delaware, found the first son guilty of three felony counts for lying on a federal firearms application, which constituted a “serious crime” under the District of Columbia’s Bar licensing rules. The Court of Appeal’s Disciplinary Counsel asked the D.C. Court of Appeals to mete out an appropriate punishment for the younger Biden based on Rule XI, which requires automatic suspension for any attorney found guilty of a felony, according to the Washington Post.
