A conservative legal group, America First Legal (AFL), filed a complaint against Hunter Biden, alleging professional misconduct and violation of professional conduct rules.
The complaint refers to Hunter’s alleged illegal conduct, including tax charges and federal firearms charges.
AFL emphasized the importance of consistent application of professional conduct rules, regardless of political affiliation or family connections.
“There is substantial evidence suggesting that Mr. Biden has engaged in professional misconduct contrary to Rule 8.4,” AFL Senior Counselor and Director of Oversight and Investigations Reed D. Rubinstein stated.
Hunter has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his trial is scheduled to begin in June.
“Public faith in the integrity of the Bar demands that the Rules of Professional Conduct be applied consistently fairly — there must be one standard for all bar members, regardless of a lawyer’s particular political affiliation or family connections,” Rubinstein said.
“An investigation of Mr. Biden is certainly warranted here.”
AFL filed a bar complaint against Hunter’s attorney in California.
Hunter also faces ongoing investigations regarding his foreign business dealings and alleged influence peddling while his father served as vice president.
