Defense argues Attorney General Pam Bondi’s financial ties to a lobbying firm representing UnitedHealth Group taint the death penalty pursuit in the CEO’s killing.
- Late Friday, Mangione's lawyers filed a court motion alleging Pam Bondi's involvement created a profound conflict and seeking documents and testimony; a hearing is scheduled for Jan. 9.
- Before taking office, Pam Bondi was a Ballard Partners partner, and the defense says she retained profit-sharing and a defined-contribution plan after pledging to bow out for a year.

- Mangione's lawyers argue Bondi's public remarks prejudiced the case, while federal prosecutors said last month pretrial publicity alone is not a constitutional defect and favor juror screening.
