Because of his criminal history, Hunter Biden has agreed to revoke his license to practice law in Washington, D.C.

Hunter was previously convicted on three felony tax offenses and six misdemeanor tax offenses, according to the Department of Justice. He was also convicted of three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018.

Nevertheless, his father, former President Joe Biden, pardoned him in December 2024 — despite the fact that the former Democrat president had vowed not to pardon him numerous times prior.

“I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and led to a miscarriage of justice,” Biden stated at the time.

The decision by Joe Biden’s son was made public this week in a series of filings by the D.C. Bar’s Board of Professional Responsibility, which is in charge of attorney discipline actions.

By voluntarily accepting disbarment, Hunter avoided potentially drawn-out legal proceedings on whether his two previous criminal convictions necessitated the loss of his law license.

He was found guilty of lying on a gun-purchase form about his drug use and possessing a firearm while under the influence of illegal narcotics. He also entered a guilty plea to tax evasion and other tax offenses in September.

Following what its members claimed was “standard procedure,” the board kept the specifics of Hunter’s decision under wraps.

The board suggested that his voluntary disbarment be accepted by the D.C. Court of Appeals — which has the last word on all attorney discipline cases.

In the beginning of March this year, 55-year-old Hunter conveyed through a court filing that he was a struggling artist, attributing his financial hardships to a lack of art sales and the January L.A. fires — hitting him hard following the departure of his father, former President Joe Biden, from the White House.

Columbia Offers to Surrender to Jihad Terror Supporters

“The University offered to consider new proposals on divestment and shareholder activism”

Columbia University (to no one’s surprise) is going the way of Northwestern, and offering the terror supporters rampaging across its campus a deal.

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik published a letter to students today (Wednesday) following the removal of the anti-Israel protesters who took over Hamilton Hall on Tuesday morning and were removed by police on Tuesday night in which she revealed that the university administration had been willing to consider the protesters’ demands, including divestment from Israel.

Shafik said that during talks between the administration and protesters, “the University offered to consider new proposals on divestment and shareholder activism, to review access to our dual degree programs and global centers, to reaffirm our commitment to free speech, and to launch educational and health programs in Gaza and the West Bank. Some other universities have reached agreement on similar proposals.”

Despite the violence, hate, and calls for the murder of Jews displayed at the anti-Israel protests on the Columbia campus over the last two weeks, Shafik said that the protesters “are also fighting for an important cause, for the rights of Palestinians and against the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza. They have many supporters in our community and have a right to express their views and engage in peaceful protest.”

She added, “We also must continue with urgency our ongoing dialogue on the important issues that have been raised in recent months, especially the balance between free speech and discrimination and the role of a university in contributing to better outcomes in the Middle East.”

Hardly surprising.

After all, Hamas supporters are negotiating with their own political allies, after all. They know the university won’t do anything to them and that the more they escalate, the more concessions they win.

In this case, the concessions will include funding for “humanitarian aid programs” in terror areas, which will amount to funding for terrorism, and to provide more options for boycotting Israel.

Hamas supporters negotiate just as Hamas does. And Columbia U is playing the local version of the Biden administration.
