Attorney General Pam Bondi said Sunday she has received death threats for instructing the federal government to pursue the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year.
Bondi ordered her agency last week to push for capital punishment in Mangione's federal case. Authorities arrested Mangione in Pennsylvania last December, days after Thompson was fatally shot in New York City.
Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state murder and terrorism charges. At the federal level, he has also been charged with murder and stalking. His lead defense attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, has said those allegations were brought by a "lawless Justice Department" that is being guided by a "political" decision to pursue the death penalty.
