A disturbing new development has emerged in the ongoing case against Luigi Mangione, the man accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024. According to court documents unsealed on June 5, 2025, authorities discovered a handwritten notebook in Mangione’s backpack at the time of his arrest. Prosecutors describe the notebook as a manifesto, filled with detailed notes that outline Mangione’s motivations, ideological beliefs, and a step-by-step plan to target Thompson. The contents of the notebook, officials say, leave little doubt that the attack was premeditated and intended as a political statement against the U.S. health insurance industry.
