Luigi Mangione, the suspect indicted in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, waived his right to an extradition hearing and was flown from Pennsylvania to New York Thursday afternoon to face federal charges.
Mangione was also hit with new federal charges unsealed Thursday: two counts of stalking, murder through use of a firearm and firearms offense. He faces multiple state and federal charges, including first-degree murder.
Mangione’s attorneys are not seeking bail — for now.
His attorney had this to say to reporters outside: “We’re going to respectfully decline to make any comment at this time,” Karen Freidman Agnifilo said. “Mr. Mangione appreciates everyone’s support.”
