Attorney General Pam Bondi Announces Aggressive New Strategy Following President Trump’s Executive Order
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a major announcement backed by President Donald J. Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that the Justice Department will now seek the death penalty whenever legally possible—a sharp reversal from the soft-on-crime policies of the previous administration.
Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Bondi laid out the administration’s commitment to restoring law and order across America, following Donald Trump’s signing of a new order named “Restoring the Death Penalty and Protecting Public Safety.”
“The president was crystal clear,” Bondi said. “We’re going to pursue the death penalty in the most severe cases. Justice must be done—and it hadn’t been under the last administration.”
The Case That Sparked a National Response
The directive comes as Bondi’s office prepares to seek the death penalty in the case of Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old man accused of the cold-blooded murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City.
Thompson, a husband, father of two, and respected American executive, was gunned down outside a Manhattan hotel in December 2024. Mangione was arrested after a multi-state manhunt and faces a host of federal and state charges.
“If there was ever a case where the death penalty fits, it’s this one,” Bondi told Fox News. “This was a calculated execution of a man who represented the best of American business and family values.”
President Trump: Putting Public Safety First
President Trump’s executive order, signed on January 20, officially ends the federal execution moratorium imposed under Joe Biden. The new policy instructs the Justice Department to pursue capital punishment “for all crimes of a severity demanding its use.”
This bold move reflects the president’s America First approach to public safety, where violent criminals face real consequences.
“Our communities deserve to feel safe again,” Bondi added. “President Trump is delivering on that promise.”
Radical Backlash from the Left? Bondi Stands Firm
Despite public outrage over the brutal murder, Mangione has received support from a small group of activists—particularly among younger, left-leaning circles. Bondi has even received death threats for seeking the ultimate punishment.
“It’s disturbing,” she said. “These young people have lost their moral compass. But we’re not backing down. This administration is about justice, not politics.”
The Legal Battle Ahead
Mangione has pleaded not guilty. His attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, called the case a “government power grab,” accusing prosecutors of playing politics with a young man’s life.
But Bondi’s response was unflinching:
“This was a premeditated assassination. Brian Thompson’s family deserves justice—and that’s what we’re going to give them.”
Court Dates and What’s Next
- Federal Court Appearance: April 18
- New York State Proceedings: June 26
As the Trump administration continues its tough-on-crime agenda, this case may serve as a wake-up call to criminals nationwide: under President Trump, the days of leniency are over.
