Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Tuesday that federal prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, who was accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a New York City hotel in December.
Bondi said her decision aligned with President Donald Trump’s executive order that calls to revive and expand the use of the federal death penalty after the Biden administration’s Department of Justice put a moratorium on it.

“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 said in a statement. “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.”
