Hunter Biden’s career as a licensed attorney is coming to an end as the former first son is to be permanently stripped of his license in Washington, D.C.
The son of former President Joe Biden has agreed to permanent disbarment, Newsmax reported.
Hunter Biden’s loss of his law license ends whatever illusion remained of his professional legal status in the nation’s capital.
According to a sealed affidavit filed Tuesday in the D.C. Court of Appeals, Biden consented to the disbarment recommendation.
The recommendation was handed down by the D.C. Bar’s Board on Professional Responsibility.
Once the court officially signs off on it, Biden will no longer be allowed to practice law in Washington, D.C.
However, Hunter Biden never legitimately practiced law in D.C.
The news comes after Hunter Biden’s law license was suspended last June.
The suspension came shortly after Biden was found guilty in Delaware for lying about his drug use while obtaining a firearm.
That case followed his guilty plea in California, where he admitted to multiple tax crimes.
For most Americans, these freedom-threatening convictions would be career-ending.
However, for someone with the last name “Biden,” it’s just business as usual.
Despite never actively practicing law in the capital, Hunter was admitted to the D.C. Bar in 2007.
He paid the $331 annual fee to keep his membership alive while holding a cushy “of counsel” position at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP.
His role at the firm conveniently coincided with his father’s terms as vice president.
Meanwhile, the D.C. Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel didn’t mince words.
They treat felonies as “serious crimes,” which triggered the proceedings leading to Biden’s license suspension and disbarment.
The appeals court then directed the bar to launch formal action.
Biden ultimately chose not to fight the proceedings.
Instead, he folded and signed off on his own professional demise.
His legal troubles may be following him across state lines.
Though he still technically holds a license in Connecticut.
However, it’s currently suspended, too, due to his failure to pay a required fee.
Seems like even basic compliance isn’t a priority for the president’s son.
In one of his final acts before exiting office, former President Biden gave Hunter a “full and unconditional pardon.”
That move came after Biden promised repeatedly to stay out of his son’s legal messes.
