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."

The findings, based on two large surveys of U.S. adults, shed light on how personality traits relate to political beliefs, including support for Trump and conservative ideology. The research was recently published in the Journal of Research in Personality.
