Hunter Biden‘s law license in Washington, D.C., has been suspended after the first son was found guilty on all charges in his federal gun trial in Delaware earlier this month.
A D.C. Court of Appeals order on Tuesday said Biden is “suspended immediately from the practice of law … pending resolution of this matter” following his conviction on three felony counts that appear to be “serious crimes” as defined by D.C. Bar rules.
Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby, who signed the order, also said the Board on Professional Responsibility is “directed to institute a formal proceeding to determine the nature of the offense and whether it involves moral turpitude.”
Biden has reportedly been a member of the D.C. bar since 2007, though CNN said that he has worked as an attorney in recent years as he sought income from other ventures, such as his 2021 memoir called “Beautiful Things” and his art career.
A disciplinary office in the nation’s capital recommended that Biden’s law license be suspended a little more than a week after the 54-year-old was convicted of lying on paperwork for a revolver and owning the firearm while being a drug addict in 2018.
Court records highlighted by the New York Post indicate that Biden also has a law license in Connecticut that has been placed on administrative suspension for a failure to pay a fee.

The verdict in the gun trial could land Biden in prison for up to 25 years and lead to fines as high as $750,000. However, The Washington Post noted that Biden probably will receive a lighter sentence because he is a first-time offender.
Attorneys for Biden submitted a filing on Monday requesting a new trial while arguing that a federal appeals court did not give the trial court formal permission to proceed after dismissing his appeals, according to Reuters.
President Joe Biden, who is running for a second term in the White House, has said he will not pardon his son or commute whatever sentence Hunter may receive.
Hunter Biden is also facing a tax trial in California, which is set to begin in September. The indictments in gun and tax cases, which took shape after the collapse of a plea deal last year, are spearheaded by special counsel David Weiss.
