BREAKING: The New York Times reports that New York Attorney General Letitia James allowed her niece to live rent-free for several years in her Norfolk, Virginia home. This is the same property that Trump’s DOJ has accused her of misrepresenting as a “second home” on her mortgage application. Prosecutors have claimed she purchased it as an investment property. Records and testimony suggest otherwise: James not only allowed her niece, Nakia Thompson, to live there without paying rent, but also covered the property’s maintenance costs herself, meaning she was losing money, not profiting from it. Thompson reportedly told a grand jury about these details, but Trump’s former attorney Lindsey Halligan chose not to have her testify before the grand jury that ultimately indicted James. Why? Likely because if the niece’s testimony had been presented, it likely would have undermined the case for indictment entirely.
