Luigi Mangione federal trial pushed back to January 2027

Luigi Mangione will not face a federal trial over the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson until January 2027, after a federal judge concluded that the defendant’s state murder trial makes it difficult to proceed on the original timetable.

U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett announced Monday that jury selection in the federal case will begin Jan. 5, 2027, with opening statements scheduled for Jan. 25. She estimated the trial, which was originally slated for October, would last two to three weeks.
