‘Trump’s trampling my right’: Luigi Mangione demands president stop ‘rhetoric’ linking him to Charlie Kirk

Luigi Mangione has filed new court papers saying that President Donald Trump and his team are hurting his chances of getting a fair trial. They are making public comments that wrongly connect him to violent acts and extreme groups. The 26-year-old faces federal murder charges for killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December. He says things got worse after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed on September 10.

A federal judge has now warned the Department of Justice that some of its workers may have broken rules about talking publicly before a trial. U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett said Wednesday that at least two top DOJ staff members seem to have broken court rules by making public statements about the case. The judge said that more rule-breaking could lead to punishments, fines, or contempt charges.
