After graduating from Columbia Law School earlier this year, Naomi Biden, the daughter of Hunter Biden and his first wife Kathleen, is poised to join the Biglaw ranks in January. The Washingtonian reports that the newly minted JD will be joining Arnold & Porter’s 55-member incoming class.
In relocating her legal career to the District, she follows in the footsteps of Tiffany Trump, who chose to attend Georgetown Law when her dad moved into the White House. Thus, the transition from Tiffany to Naomi as the new “First Lawyer” will complete the peaceful transfer of power in the Above the Law universe. And as it turns out, Naomi and Tiffany are friends in the way elites are, and snapping pictures together while partying in the Hamptons. See, we can all cross the aisle and get along over mimosas at the beach house!

In any event, while we’re waiting on Tiffany’s next career move, her buddy will move into the largest law firm lobbying shop in the country right as her grandpa becomes president. Hopefully, she’ll be joining literally any other practice area within the firm.
But before she starts billing up a storm to get those suspiciously light bonuses, she’s offering some pro bono legal analysis for Donald Trump:
The case of Trump v. Reality
Cause of action: “he was winning” but the “numbers started miraculously getting whittled away in secret”
Legal claims: “writing down things, the workers, and doing a lot of bad things”
