Letitia James' niece is a fugitive from justice

Letitia James' niece, who lives in the Virginia Home linked to mortgage fraud, is a fugitive from justice wanted on multiple criminal warrants.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, already facing federal charges of bank fraud over her Virginia home, is now facing more scrutiny after an investigation uncovered that the property's longtime tenant — her 36-year-old grandniece Nakia Thompson — is a fugitive.

James co-signed the mortgage with her niece, Shamice Thompson-Hairston (Nakia), granting her power of attorney in a notarized form dated August 17, 2023 — just weeks before James launched her high-profile civil fraud trial against former President Donald Trump in Manhattan.

Her criminal history, spans over two decades across North Carolina and Virginia, paints a picture of persistent run-ins with the law.

The discovery has sparked speculation that James could face additional charges for harboring a fugitive — a Class 1 misdemeanor in Virginia (up to 12 months in jail and $2,500 fine)

Or given the interstate element, federal penalties up to five years - however, she has not been charged with a crime related to her niece.
