Last week, President Biden’s son Hunter was found guilty of felony gun charges. It was the first time in history that the son of a sitting president was convicted of a crime, and many have since commented on the surprising development. Some Republicans have said it was a “distraction” from the alleged bribery scheme run by Joe and Hunter.
It’s unknown what will happen to Hunter. His sentencing has been pushed back to after the election—which some might consider a move to protect Biden.
But the fallout of Hunter’s conviction is already being felt. The trial exposed Hunter’s history of drug abuse—which had been going on when he bought and owned a firearm. Now that he is a convicted felon, the D.C. bar just gave him some bad news.
From The Washington Examiner:
President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden won’t be able to practice law in Washington, D.C., after a jury convicted him on felony gun charges last week, according to a new letter sent by disciplinary counsel in Washington.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 sent a letter to Hunter Biden’s counsel Monday evening informing him his license would be suspended, according to the Washington Post.
The District of Columbia’s Bar Association notified Hunter Biden that he can no longer practice law in the city: his license has been suspended due to his criminal conviction. This means Hunter won’t be able to act as a lawyer, although it’s unknown if he regularly did this in the first place.
Hmm… so Hunter has failed at being a businessman, energy tycoon (for Ukraine), and painter. Now, he’s failed at being a lawyer. I wonder what other jobs he’ll fail at, before all is said and done?
We don’t know what Hunter Biden is even doing at the moment. Aside from attending court hearings, it hasn’t been revealed whether the man is working; perhaps being the son of a famous Democrat means he doesn’t have to worry about doing anything.
We know that a wealthy Democrat donor and friend of the Bidens, Kevin Morris, has been taking care of Hunter lately. Reports suggest he paid Hunter’s back taxes and might even been providing him with other perks — chances are, this will continue for the foreseeable future.
Key Takeaways:
- The D.C. Bar Association has banned Hunter Biden from practicing law.
- This comes as a result of his criminal gun conviction.
- The president’s son was found guilty of three federal gun charges.
