NEW YORK — Luigi Mangione, the accused in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is expected to plead guilty at a hearing on Friday in federal court in Manhattan, according to sources close to the hearing. This comes weeks before the start of his state trial. Sources emphasized that negotiations for a plea deal are ongoing and that nothing is final until Mangione reaches an agreement. To date, Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges. This new development comes just days after our sister network NBC New York revealed on Tuesday afternoon that a hearing had been scheduled for Friday in Mangione's federal trial, raising new questions about whether he was seeking a deal with prosecutors. Mangione did not speak during Tuesday's hearing. His next court appearance in the state trial is scheduled for September 8, when jury selection will begin. The federal trial is set for January 2027.
