Luigi Mangione Federal Trial Pushed To October, Judge Rules

NEW YORK CITY — A federal judge on Wednesday went ahead and moved back Luigi Mangione's federal trial from September to October.

U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett disclosed that jury selection will be set to begin on Oct. 5 with presentation of evidence expected on Oct. 26.

Garnett had initially set a Sept. 8 trial date for the federal case. The 27-year-old's state trial is set for June 8.

Mangione has pleaded not guilty to a slew of state and federal charges, including murder. In September 2025, a judge dropped two state terrorism charges against him.

The 27-year-old is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown in December 2024 and then leading police on a five-day manhunt.

Mangione also faces charges in Pennsylvania for possessing an illegal gun and giving a fake ID to the police.

In February, a 36-year-old man who tried to break Mangione out of jail in Brooklyn by attempting to impersonate an FBI agent pleaded not guilty to charges.

Mark Anderson, of Minnesota, plead not guilty to one count of impersonating a federal agent in connection with the Jan. 28 incident.
