Bar.”

Bar license states he was admitted in 2007. Both the Bar and the AP were unaware that the President’s son has been admitted to practice in D.C. for 16 years.

Breitbart News was told by legal experts that Hunter should not report an administrative suspension to D.C. Bar for failing pay the fee. Instead, this would be done upon disciplinary action. The D.C.

“Obviously, the failure to pay a $75 fee could just be an oversight — not uncommon with lawyers who do their own bookkeeping and aren’t good at it,” He said. “In general, I don’t think there is anything unethical about failing to pay a fee; it would be unethical to practice without a license, so to the extent the fee is a condition of the license that could be relevant.”
It is unknown if Hunter has engaged in the practice of law in Connecticut since his license was administratively suspended nearly two years ago.
