Federal prosecutors slam Mangione lawyers’ ‘meritless’ claims about Bondi’s lobbying ties
Federal prosecutors called defense claims of Attorney General Bondi’s financial conflict in the death penalty case meritless, citing her recusal pledge and lack of ongoing financial ties.
- On Wednesday, federal prosecutors said Luigi Mangione's lawyers made 'meritless' claims about Attorney General Pam Bondi's ties to Ballard Partners and her death-penalty decision, while Buckley countered Bondi no longer received income from the firm.
- Mangione's lawyers said in their Dec. 19 court filing that Pam Bondi, Attorney General, had a financial stake via Ballard Partners and that her lobbying created a conflict violating due process claims.
- Deputy Manhattan U.S. Attorney Sean Buckley wrote that Bondi's Ballard Partners' 401 reflects past compensation and she had no recusal obligation since Ballard and UnitedHealth Group companies are not parties.
- A hearing is scheduled for Friday when U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett will hear oral argument on the defense team's bid to remove the death penalty.
- The broader case timeline shows Brian Thompson, UnitedHealthcare CEO, was killed Dec. 4, 2024, and Mangione was arrested five days later at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 230 miles west of Manhattan, pleading not guilty to federal and state murder charges.
