Donald Trump’s Justice Department is under fire by a federal judge after uncovering “multiple employees … may have violated” local rules guaranteeing a right to a fair trial for so-called “healthcare shooter” Luigi Mangione.

U.S. District Court Judge Margaret Garnett wrote on Wednesday that Mangione documented several incidents in which members of the Southern District of New York made public statements that are in violation of Criminal Rule 23.1.

The judge shredded the DOJ, saying that she issued an order on “April 25, 2025, specifically identifying the strictures of this rule for counsel and directing the prosecution team to ensure that the highest levels of the Department of Justice, up to and including Attorney General Bondi, were aware of and understood they were bound by this Rule.”

    Except Luigi clearly isn’t the shooter. He looks nothing like the pictures, and the cops clearly planted the evidence.

      My headcanon is that Luigi did plant his own evidence as a distraction in sympathy of the real shooter.
