Hunter Biden, the scandal-plagued son of Joe Biden, has voluntarily agreed to give up his license to practice law in Washington, D.C., according to Politico.
The decision, revealed this week by the D.C. Bar’s Board on Professional Responsibility, comes as no surprise to those who’ve followed the younger Biden’s laundry list of legal troubles.
It’s a blatant attempt to sidestep the inevitable—a full disbarment proceeding that would have laid bare the consequences of his criminal behavior.
Last June, a jury convicted him of felony gun charges—owning a firearm while using illegal drugs and lying about that drug use on a federal form.
Then, in September, he pleaded guilty to tax evasion and a slew of other tax-related crimes, admitting he’d dodged the law while living a life of excess.
Yet, in December, his father—Joe Biden himself—swooped in with a presidential pardon, wiping the slate clean for his wayward son. How convenient.
