AG Pam Bondi instructs Justice Department to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione.
WASHINGTON – On Fox News, AG Pam Bondi revealed receiving death threats while pushing for the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
After Thompson’s murder, authorities arrested Mangione in Pennsylvania. Bondi ordered her agency to seek capital punishment in his federal case.
Mangione has denied state charges of terrorism and murder. He also faces federal accusations of murder and stalking, which his defense attorney calls politically motivated.
In his second term, one of Trump\’s orders directed the AG to ensure state availability of lethal injection drugs for executions.
On Fox News, Bondi defended her approach to Mangione’s case, stating, \”If there was ever a death case, this is one.\”
Bondi also criticized sympathizers with Mangione, who became a subject of national interest due to his appearance and American health care system frustrations.
\”I’ve received death threats for seeking the death penalty on someone charged with executing a CEO,\” she said.
Pretrial proceedings in Mangione’s case have been delayed till next Friday.
