Attorney General Pamela Bondi has directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last year. Mangione, 26, was charged in December with stalking and murdering Thompson, as well as with first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism by state prosecutors. Bondi stated that seeking the death penalty is part of President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and make America safe again. She described Thompson’s murder as a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all charges. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided by reporter Matt Lavietes from NBC News.
