Hunter Biden, President Biden's son, was found guilty on all three charges tied to the possession of a gun while using drugs, making him the first child of a sitting U.S. president to be convicted of a crime. NBC News' Ryan Nobles has the latest, with legal and political analysis from Laura Jarrett and Hallie Jackson.

A local appeals court in Washington, D.C. has suspended Hunter Biden's law license because of his conviction on gun-related charges in federal court in Delaware earlier this month. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals said in a brief order Tuesday the suspension was effective 'immediately.' The court also directed its attorney disciplinary arm, the Board on Professional Responsibility, to 'institute a formal disciplinary proceeding.

A jury in Wilmington on June 11 found Biden, the president's son, guilty of three felony counts tied to possession of a gun while using narcotics. No sentencing date has been set. Biden had pleaded not guilty in the case, and his attorney Abbe Lowell submitted court filings on Monday arguing his client should get a new trial or be acquitted of the charges altogether. The D.C. board gave Biden until Aug. 2 to file a response in the disciplinary proceeding.
