Court delivers another blow to Hunter Biden's case
In a recent turn of events, Hunter Biden, son of the US President, faces additional repercussions in Washington D.C.: His ability to practice law temporarily gets revoked in the city. The suspension starts "instantly," as per an order from the Court of Appeals in Washington D.C.
Following a guilty verdict by a Delaware jury in early June over false declarations during a 2018 gun purchase and concealing his previous drug addiction, Hunter Biden faces a possible extended jail term. The sentencing hearing is set for a future date. Given his lack of prior convictions, the 54-year-old may dodge prison.
Graduating from Yale Law School, Hunter Biden has worked as a lawyer and business lobbyist in the past. He was issued a law license in Washington D.C. in 2007. As per recent reports, he has not been actively using his law license in recent times. In this political climate, unfavorable news about the President's son can be used by opponents during the heated election year.
