A conservative legal organization, the America First Legal Foundation (AFL), has lodged a damning complaint against Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, with the bar in Washington, D.C. The younger Biden is charged with professional misconduct in the complaint, which cites his ongoing legal issues, international business transactions, and the infamous abandoned laptop archive.

While Hunter Biden, despite facing federal indictments for gun and tax-related offenses, manages to maintain good standing with the D.C. bar, the AFL is not so forgiving. The organization contends that consistent enforcement of the rules is critical to maintaining public confidence in the legal profession. An absolute standard without any exemptions is precisely what the AFL requires.
Hunter Biden has been indicted in Delaware on three federal gun charges, including unlawful firearm possession and alleged false statements. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to an enormous 25 years in prison. Not to mention the tax-related allegations he is confronted with in California, which have the potential to extend his sentence by an additional 17 years. Given his current federal issues, it is unsurprising that the AFL detects a consistent pattern of professional malfeasance.
Specific bar rules prohibit attorneys from engaging in dishonest or fraudulent conduct, as well as from committing criminal acts that reflect negatively on their credibility, according to the complaint filed by AFL. Hunter Biden, a former employee of a prominent law firm and a graduate of Yale Law School, would do well to consider these regulations. The AFL does not hold him exempt from responsibility simply because he is the son of a president.
It is impossible to overstate the significance of Hunter Biden's international commercial dealings. The countries of Ukraine, Russia, China, Kazakhstan, and Romania are not typical investment destinations. Already, the House Republican impeachment investigation into President Biden is delving into allegations that the younger Biden was involved in these transactions. However, not only the Republican Party is attentively observing. During the Obama administration, the AFL obtained records of communications between Hunter Biden's associates and the staff of then-Vice President Joe Biden. This has the potential to illuminate an additional stratum of possible unethical behavior.
The story does not conclude there. In addition, the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) is being sued by the AFL for failing to register Hunter Biden as a foreign agent. Considering his dealings with the Chinese firm CEFC and their interest in the U.S. energy markets, this is an extremely significant matter. The AFL meticulously examines public records pertaining to these transactions in its unwavering pursuit of the truth.
The AFL is of the opinion that there exists sufficient evidence to justify an inquiry into the professional malfeasance of Hunter Biden. Reed D. Rubenstein, the Director of Oversight and Investigations for the organization, unequivocally stated that the Rules of Professional Conduct ought to be enforced without any room for differential treatment. Family ties or political affiliation should not afford legal professionals immunity from scrutiny. As the public's confidence in the legal system is at peril, the AFL defends the integrity of the legal profession.
