Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has accepted nearly $300,000 in donations toward his legal defense, according to the fund.
Mangione is accused of killing Thompson outside of a Manhattan hotel on December 4, 2024. He faces criminal charges in New York, Pennsylvania, and federal court. The Ivy League graduate pleaded not guilty to the New York state charges and has yet to make pleas in the other venues.
