Dec. 15 (UPI) -- A judge in Connecticut on Monday ordered the disbarment of Hunter Biden after his convictions on federal gun and tax charges and then pardoned by his father, Joe Biden, as president.
In Waterbury, Judge Trial Referee Patrick Carroll III suspended him from practicing law in the state after finding he violated the rules of professional conduct for attorneys.
In April, Biden voluntarily surrendered his license to practice law in Washington, D.C.
The judge found he violated several ethical rules for lawyers, including engaging in conduct for "dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation. Carroll also cited the Washington disbarment in his decision.
During the virtual hearing, Biden, 55, didn't contest the decision and didn't speak. He appeared with his lawyer, Ross Garber.
