Big Tish has a family of criminals. Including a criminal absconder.
The tenant living in the Virginia house at the center of New York Attorney General Letitia James's federal indictment is a 'fugitive' from justice, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
James has reportedly allowed her grandniece Nakia Thompson - along with Thompson's three children - to live in the three-bedroom property in Norfolk since 2020.
Now, in an embarrassing twist for Donald Trump's nemesis, Daily Mail has discovered that Thompson is officially listed as an 'absconder' who is being sought by authorities in North Carolina for failing to finish her probation.
'Ms Thompson was sentenced to probation for misdemeanor convictions for assault and battery and trespassing, and has willfully avoided probation supervision,' Keith Acree, communications director for the North Carolina Department of Corrections told Daily Mail.
'An absconder is considered a fugitive,' Acree added. 'Thompson faces arrest if she is located in North Carolina.' He said her crimes of assault and trespass are considered 'non-extraditable' due to their low level.
The 36-year-old told a grand jury in June that she had been living rent-free at James's home -- now valued at $235,000 -- since the Attorney General bought it, claiming that James pays for even basic upkeep, the New York Times reported.

On the NCDC website is an appeal for information leading to Thompson's whereabouts, along with a mugshot and an offender number -- 0898340.
During her time at New York state's top prosecutor, James has championed her work bringing fugitives to justice, including the extradition from Pakistan of a Medicaid fraud ringleader.

When approached by Daily Mail, Thompson simply said 'no comment', before bizarrely adding that she was 'very much in college, and very much a graduate'.
Before moving to James's home in 2020 -- which the prosecutor had purchased for $109,000 -- Thompson had a string of brushes with the law in Virginia and North Carolina, records show.
In 2005 she was placed on probation in Forsyth County, North Carolina, for simple assault, and the following year was handed a suspended sentence for two counts of assault against a government official, according to NCDC.
