New York Attorney General Letitia James, already under investigation for mortgage fraud, now faces explosive allegations that could land her in federal prison: her niece’s daughter, Nikia Monique Thompson—a long-time fugitive—is reportedly hiding in James’s Virginia residence, raising serious questions of harboring a criminal across state lines.

Fugitive on the Run, Shelter at James’s Home
The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction has listed Nikia Monique Thompson as an “absconder” (offender number 0898340), wanted for violating probation. All evidence points to her hiding at Letitia James’s Norfolk, Virginia property—a home James co-signed for with her niece under a Power of Attorney.

Authorities warn that harboring a fugitive, especially across state lines, is a federal offense carrying up to five years in prison, in addition to potential state penalties for accessory after the fact.

Mortgage Fraud and the Virginia Connection
James co-signed a mortgage with her niece Shamice Thompson-Hairston for the Norfolk home in August 2023, declaring it her “primary residence” to secure favorable government-backed loan terms. William Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, cited this declaration as potentially falsified, noting prior questionable mortgage activity by James dating back to 2011.

While James publicly claimed she was merely helping her niece’s children, investigative reporting shows that Thompson is an adult with a criminal record spanning 20 years, including assault, burglary, and contributing to the delinquency of minors. James’s stated “good aunt” defense now looks increasingly hollow.

Criminal History and Links to James
Thompson’s LinkedIn profile shows years of professional work with James, from campaigns to government positions. Facebook activity reportedly places her comfortably in James’s Norfolk home. Authorities and legal experts warn that James cannot claim ignorance of harboring a fugitive, making the case against her far more serious than mere family assistance.

Legal Consequences Loom
Under Virginia law (VA Code § 18.2-472), harboring someone who escaped custody is a Class 1 misdemeanor, punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. Federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1073) further exposes James to up to five years in prison for aiding a fugitive involved in interstate flight.

The Broader Pattern of Corruption
This revelation is not an isolated incident. From mortgage fraud to potential violations of federal harboring law, James’s conduct mirrors the broader pattern of elite immunity and unaccountable power in American governance. Special Prosecutor Ed Martin, appointed by President Trump, has already advised James’s legal team that resignation may be her only prudent option.

Accountability and the Call to Action
Letitia James cannot hide behind familial loyalty or political office. Harboring a criminal fugitive, especially while under investigation for fraud, is a blatant violation of both state and federal law. If James truly believes “no one is above the law,” she should resign immediately and face scrutiny in court, before prosecutors force the matter.
