A new report reveals that two of the properties owned by New York Attorney General Letitia James have been visited by police more than two dozen times, Breitbart reported. The homes, which are part of her mortgage fraud indictment, are occupied by her beleaguered family member, who has a checkered past.
The properties involved were part of the ongoing controversy about James's alleged lies on her mortgage documents. When applying for financing on her Virginia homes, James claimed that one would be her primary residence while the other would be a second home.
Interest rates are typically higher on homes rented to others or used as vacation homes, so James potentially benefited from claiming a Virginia residence even while serving in the New York government. Meanwhile, the family members who occupied the homes James purchased have had their share of drama, including repeated visits from law enforcement, according to the New York Post.

Police were called on several occasions to the Virginia residence owned by James, which was occupied by her grandniece, Nakia Thompson. The 36-year-old, who has a criminal history, lives at the house with her three children, where she has lived since James closed on the house in August 2020.
According to police reports, there have been several calls to the house, with some even occurring on the same day. Cops have been visiting to serve warrants and subpoenas, and also for issues such as domestic violence, vandalism, and calls about suspicious persons.
The most recent activity includes six calls made in the first two weeks of October of this year. Still, Thompson has denied having any legal woes and took to Facebook to defend herself, as noted by the New York Post in a separate report about the issue.
"For all inquiring minds no I’m not in trouble havent been in years at all," she wrote. Thompson said that the charges against her, which include assaulting police, are "OLD AS HELL" and said they were "fabricated" against her.
"Very much a active mother to my children everyday, work everyday, and very much in college and about to graduate with my B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Criminal Justice," Thompson wrote. She didn't mention that in 2019, she had her kids with her when she was busted for felony larceny. "I’m doing my thing!! I walk with my head held high cause I worked hard to get where I am," Thompson wrote.
While it seems that James's family can't stay out of trouble, the attorney general has been embroiled in the mortgage fraud that she claims is a political witch hunt, ABC News reported. James pursued President Donald Trump while he was running for office in a way that many believe surpassed her call of duty, and now she is attempting to get her own case dismissed by claiming Trump is retaliating.
Ironically, James slapped Trump with a massive $500 million fine for fraud based on his company's valuation of properties to obtain bank loans. It was a controversial case, both in its allegations and the penalty imposed, and it was ultimately dismissed. However, James now believes her very real scandal is simply a political war.
"This lawsuit and AG James’s outspoken criticism of the President triggered six years of targeted attacks. President Trump and his allies have used every insulting term in their vocabulary to deride AG James and call for criminal penalties in retaliation for the exercise of her rights and fulfillment of her statutory duties to fulfill her obligations as New York state’s attorney general," attorneys for James wrote in a legal filing.
They said that Trump's use of words like "scum," "criminal," "crooked," and "monster" demonstrates his particular disdain for James and proves that it was personal. Many believe that James and her ilk were going after Trump for political reasons, and now that they're on the other end of it, they don't like it.
James has held herself out to be the paragon of virtue while allegedly playing games for favorable mortgage rates. Although her family's legal woes are not her fault nor her responsibility, it adds another twist to this controversy that James seems to have brought on herself.
