Letitia James Housing ‘Fugitive’ Grandniece in Home

Indicted New York State Attorney General Letitia James has housed her “fugitive” relative in her Virginia house for five years, according to reports.

The under-fire prosecutor’s grandniece, Nakia Thompson, has been living with her three children in James’ three-bedroom property in Norfolk since 2020.

It has now been revealed that Thompson is officially listed as an “absconder” who is wanted by authorities in Forsyth County, North Carolina, for failing to finish her probation, court documents seen by the Daily Mail reveal.

“Ms. Thompson was sentenced to probation for misdemeanor convictions for assault and battery and trespassing, and has willfully avoided probation supervision,” Keith Acree from the North Carolina Department of Corrections told the Daily Mail.

“An absconder is considered a fugitive. Thompson faces arrest if she is located in North Carolina,” Acree added, saying that her crimes were considered low-level and thus, “non-extraditable.”

Thompson told a grand jury in June that she had been living rent-free in James’ $235k Virginia home since the Attorney General bought it, and doesn’t even pay for basic upkeep, The New York Times previously reported.

Court records show she was convicted in October 2011 with one count of assault and battery and one count of second-degree trespass, and was sentenced to probation.

She also has previous convictions for assault/threat against the government and simple assault/affray from 2006 and 2005 respectively.

Absconders can face an extension or a revocation of their probation, or even a possible return to prison, according to the North Carolina Department of Corrections.

James was indicted by a Virginia federal grand jury on charges of bank fraud and making a false statement to a financial institution in order to secure a mortgage for the home, allegations she has repeatedly and strenuously denied.

On Monday, she branded the charges filed against her by a Trump-appointed prosecutor as politically motivated, vowing to fight them.

“I stand on solid rock and I will not bow, I will not break, I will not bend,” she said at a rally for leftist New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
