Although he received an expansive presidential pardon from his father in December, former first son Hunter Biden is still facing a host of embarrassing personal and professional repercussions for his past conduct.

As Fox News reports, the son of former President Joe Biden has consented to the permanent loss of his license to practice law in Washington, D.C., doing so in the wake of a professional disciplinary recommendation for his disbarment.

Biden poised to lose license

It was on Tuesday that Biden filed a sealed affidavit with the D.C. Court of Appeals affirming his “consent to disbarment.”

The move comes in the wake of a June 2024 suspension of his law license in the capital that followed his conviction on felony firearms charges in federal court that summer.

As the New York Post explains, it is now incumbent on the court to accept the disciplinary agency's recommendation together with Biden's expression of consent for the matter to be concluded in formal disbarment.

At the time of publishing, Biden's status with the D.C. Bar was listed as “Temp Disciplinary Suspension,” a designation poised to change, provided the court proceeds with consensual disbarment, as expected.

Hunter Biden graduated from law school back in 1996 and became a member of the D.C. bar in 2007, and though he never had an active practice in the nation's capital, he did have an “of counsel” role with the politically connected Boies Schiller Flexner law firm while his father served as vice president in the administration of then-President Barack Obama.

Security detail pulled

Adding to Hunter Biden's recent string of disappointments was President Donald Trump's March decision to end Secret Service protection for the former first son and his sister, Ashley Biden, a move reported by the Associated Press.

Before leaving office, Joe Biden extended security protection for his son and daughter for an additional six months, despite his eligibility having technically ended once Trump was inaugurated in January.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump blasted what he felt were excessive amounts of resources being used to protect the adult son of Joe Biden, declaring, “There are as many 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous! Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection.”

Trump's decision was announced while Hunter Biden was vacationing in South Africa, reportedly accompanied by a large contingent of protective agents and a number of government-provided vehicles.

In response to Trump's determination, the Secret Service issued a statement, noting, “We are aware of the President's decision to terminate protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden. The Secret Service will comply and is actively working with the protective details and the White House to ensure compliance as soon as possible.”

Money woes mount

As if the aforementioned losses weren't enough, Hunter Biden is also reportedly facing serious financial difficulties, as evidenced by a recent request to abandon a civil lawsuit he brought against a former White House aide he accused of wrongfully publishing the contents of his infamous laptop.

In a document filed with the court in support of his request, Biden's lawyer said that his client “has suffered a significant downturn in his income and has significant debt in the millions of dollars range” and has seen a dramatic decline in art sales and revenues from his memoir, a scenario that skeptics might suggest is more than a little coincidental given his father's recent departure from power.
