Hunter Biden disbarred in Connecticut after admitting to attorney misconduct
A judge disbarred Hunter Biden in Connecticut as part of a deal centered on allegations of attorney misconduct during his gun and tax cases last year.
The former first son struck a deal with the state office that disciplines lawyers, in which he admitted to some misconduct but denied any criminal wrongdoing. At a virtual Monday hearing, Judge Trial Referee Patrick L. Carroll III solidified the agreement and disbarred the scandal-plagued Biden.
Carroll ruled that he violated the state’s ethical rules for lawyers, including “dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.” He referenced Biden’s parallel disbarment in Washington, D.C.
One of the individuals who filed complaints about Biden, Paul Dorsey, objected to the agreement at the hearing, as the defendant didn’t admit to any criminal wrongdoing.
Biden’s disbarment ends a law career that began in 1997, shortly after he graduated from Yale Law School.
The former first son made history last year, becoming the first son of a sitting president to be criminally convicted over three charges related to a 2018 gun purchase. He was convicted of lying on a federal form about his drug use to purchase a firearm, submitting a false statement into a federal record, and unlawfully possessing the firearm for 11 days.
He was pardoned by his father on Dec. 1, 2024, less than two weeks before he was set to be sentenced over the crime.
HUNTER BIDEN WANTS ARREST WARRANT FOR OVERSTOCK CEO IN DEFAMATION CASE
Former President Joe Biden’s pardon for his son was unusual, as it covered an 11-year period beginning in 2014, largely anticipating retaliatory moves from President Donald Trump. It was the most prominent of numerous pardons granted to the former president’s allies before he left office.
Despite the pardon, Hunter Biden has continued to incur other costs for his past misdeeds, with his disbarment on Monday being the latest.
