U.S. Attorney General
#PamelaBondi wants federal prosecutors to seek the highest form of punishment for
#LuigiMangione, the 26-year-old man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO
#BrianThompson in New York City in December.
The charges against Mangione include first-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon and stalking. The possibility of Mangione facing the death penalty if convicted has been open ever since he was hit with a federal murder by firearm charge. Now, Bondi has directed Acting U.S. Attorney
#MatthewPodolsky to seek that very outcome.
“Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” Bondi wrote in a statement Tuesday. “After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again.”
