The federal government will seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December.

“Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, coldblooded assassination that shocked America,” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said on 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.”
