Above the Law, By Blood: The Brazen Hypocrisy of Letitia James and Nikia Monique Thompson
LETITIA JAMES AND HER NIECE, NIKIA THOMPSON
Nikia Monique Thompson and her aunt Letitia James Defy The Law Routinely and don’t see the similarity between themselves
By SyndicatedNews Investigative Desk SNN.BZ
Letitia James, New York’s self-anointed guardian of justice, thunders from her perch as Attorney General, wielding the law like a sledgehammer against foes like Donald Trump, whom she branded a criminal in a 2024 civil fraud takedown. “No one is above the law!” she bellows, her voice dripping with self righteous fury. Yet, in a twist that could make a soap opera blush, James herself stands accused of mortgage fraud, dodging rules with the finesse of a seasoned con.
And who’s her partner-in-defiance? Her grandniece, Nikia Monique Thompson, a 36-year-old fugitive whose 20-year rap sheet reads like a middle finger to the system, hiding smugly in James’s Virginia safehouse.
Blood-bound and unbowed, these two women share a singular creed: the law is for suckers, not them. To top it off, James has the audacity to pocket $10 million in taxpayer cash from Governor Kathy Hochul—funneled straight to Davis Polk Wardwell, where Hochul’s husband’s husband Bill is a partner. All the while, shielding her felon kin and preaching “justice.” If this isn’t corruption wrapped in irony, what is?
A Family Custom of Defiance
United by blood and a shared contempt for accountability, James and Thompson are two sides of the same lawless coin. James, 66, struts through Albany’s corridors with the swagger of a prosecutor who’s untouchable, allegedly rigging mortgage deals for personal gain while cloaking herself in moral superiority.
Thompson, her grandniece through niece Shamice Thompson-Hairston, is the streetwise counterpart—gritty, unapologetic, racking up convictions like trophies and dodging warrants with a smirk. Their bond? More than family ties; it’s a mutual pact to spit in the face of the law.
Thompson even boasted on LinkedIn about working on James’s 2018 campaign and Brooklyn’s Board of Elections, a cozy familial hustle that kept her one step ahead of the cops. Together, they weave a narrative of entitlement so bold it’s almost performance art.
Letitia James: The Prosecutor’s Shameless Hustle
James’s alleged crimes are a masterclass in hypocrisy. Take her 2020 purchase of a Norfolk, Virginia, colonial at 3121 Peronne Avenue—$235,000, with a $109,600 mortgage from OVM Financial and First Savings Bank. To snag a juicy 3% interest rate and a $3,500 seller credit, she swore it was her “secondary residence,” signing a rider banning its use as a rental. Spoiler: she never set foot there, instead stashing Thompson and her crew rent-free, pocketing $18,933 in ill-gotten savings. By 2023, she doubled down, notarizing a Power of Attorney calling it her “principal residence”—a bald-faced lie contradicting her New York disclosures listing it as an investment. When federal prosecutors indicted her for bank fraud on October 9, 2025, James scoffed, calling it a “witch hunt” by Trump’s DOJ. The nerve.
And then there’s the $10 million taxpayer-funded cherry on top. James gleefully accepted taxpayer funds from Governor Kathy Hochul, funneled to Delaware North, where Hochul’s husband, Bill Hochul, cashes in as a Davis Polk Wardwell partner. Legal services? More like legalized cronyism. All while James harbored her fugitive grandniece and slung “criminal” at Trump. The irony is thicker than her case files.
Here’s the rap sheet on Letitia James’s alleged crimes:
| Date/Year | Jurisdiction | Charge | Details | Outcome | Source/ Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 2020 | Eastern District of Virginia | Mortgage Fraud (Bank Fraud) | Lied about 3121 Peronne Ave as “secondary residence” for $109,600 mortgage, securing 3% rate and $3,500 credit. | Indicted October 9, 2025; trial set for October 24, 2025. Pocketed $15,433 in interest savings. | OVM Financial records; Gateway Pundit |
| 2020–2023 | Eastern District of Virginia | Mortgage Fraud (Bank Fraud) | Used property as rental for fugitive Nikia Thompson, violating loan terms. | Indicted October 9, 2025; trial pending. Net gain: $18,933. | First Savings Bank filings; Daily Mail |
| 2023 | Eastern District of Virginia | False Statements | Notarized Power of Attorney claiming property as “principal residence,” clashing with New York investment disclosures. | Indicted October 9, 2025; trial pending. | Court filings; PJ Media |

James plays the law like a fiddle, preaching accountability while fleecing banks and taxpayers with a smirk only power can buy (and that doesn’t even touch “insurance fraud”),
Who is Nikia Monique Thompson? Letitia’s Fugitive Niece
If James is the polished lawbreaker, Thompson is the raw, unfiltered version—a 36-year-old career criminal whose 20-year spree across Virginia and North Carolina screams defiance. From child endangerment to shoplifting, assault to drug possession, her rap sheet is a laundry list of “catch me if you can.” Since 2012, she’s been a fugitive, dodging a probation violation warrant for assault, battery, and trespassing, listed as an “absconder” by North Carolina (Offender #0898340). Her interstate hop could land her federal charges under 18 U.S.C. § 1073, but Thompson?
She’s too busy living rent-free in James’s Norfolk hideout, posting on Facebook like a taunt to the cops.
In June 2025, she sauntered into a Norfolk grand jury, admitting her residency but dodging the hard questions with a “no comment” and a bizarre flex about a college degree. That’s Thompson: untouchable, unrepentant, and utterly unafraid.
Here’s Monique Thompson’s cart of crimes. It is a testament to her lawless bravado:

Thompson’s life is a defiant middle finger to the system, enabled by the aunt who claims to enforce it. Rules? Those are for other people.
Blood and Brass: A Shared Middle Finger to Justice
The irony is almost poetic. James, the crusader who hounded Trump for “fraud,” allegedly pulled the same stunt with her Virginia mortgage, lying about residency to save thousands while housing a fugitive. Thompson, meanwhile, treats the law like a speed bump, racking up charges and dodging warrants with the audacity of someone who knows she’s got a powerful aunt in her corner. Both believe they’re untouchable—James with her legal maneuvering, Thompson with her fugitive swagger. Their blood tie is their shield: James harbored Thompson for over a decade, fully aware of her absconder status since 2012, while authorities begged for tips via a hotline. Her “good aunt” excuse—claiming she housed Thompson’s “children” (who are adults with their own rap sheets)—is a laughable dodge, potentially violating Virginia’s accessory laws or federal harboring statutes.
A Taxpayer’s Humiliation: Corruption in Neon Lights
The ultimate insult? While James shielded her lawbreaking grandniece and slung “criminal” at Trump, she pocketed $10 million in taxpayer money from Kathy Hochul, funneled to Delaware North, where Hochul’s husband rakes it in at Davis Polk Wardwell. This isn’t just cronyism—it’s a neon-lit middle finger to every taxpayer who funds James’s crusade. She preaches justice, protects a felon, and cashes in on public dime, all while pointing fingers at others. If that’s not corruption, the word has lost all meaning.
James and Thompson, bound by blood and brass, laugh at the law they claim to respect. As James’s October 24, 2025, court date looms, the question isn’t just whether justice will catch them—it’s whether the system they’ve mocked for so long even has the guts to try. For taxpayers, it’s not just a scandal; it’s a betrayal that stings like salt in a wound.
