Hunter Biden Agrees to DC Disbarment

News summary

Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, has consented to being disbarred from practicing law in Washington, D.C., following his federal felony conviction. Biden filed a sealed affidavit with the D.C. Court of Appeals agreeing to the disbarment, which will be completed once the court approves the D.C. Bar's Board on Professional Responsibility's recommendation. His legal troubles include convictions for lying about drug use when purchasing a firearm and pleading guilty to tax evasion. Biden's legal license was suspended in June 2024 due to the felony conviction. Despite his guilty plea in the tax case and receiving a presidential pardon from his father, he faced disciplinary proceedings which led to his decision to voluntarily accept disbarment. Hunter Biden, who has never actively practiced law in D.C., maintains a law license in Connecticut, which is currently under administrative suspension.
