Washington — The District of Columbia Court of Appeals has suspended Hunter Biden from practicing law in Washington, D.C., the court's chief judge said in a filing Tuesday.
The "immediate" suspension, as Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby put it, follows Biden's conviction on federal gun charges by a federal jury in Delaware. Federal law prohibits someone who improperly uses controlled substances from purchasing or possessing a firearm. The president's son was found guilty of three felony counts related to his purchase of a gun in 2018 while he was addicted to crack cocaine.
The court said the "serious crimes" warranted the suspension of Biden's ability to practice law in the district.
