Court appearances expected for Mangione, Diddy

Two high-profile court appearances are happening today

First, accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione faces a federal indictment. And disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs will appear before a judge

as his lawyers hope to delay the start of that trial. Good day, Briella Tomasetti, live at federal court

on what will be a very busy day there in lower Manhattan

Briella, good morning. Good morning, Robert and Tashani. It sure will be because, Rob, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione is expected to appear here at federal court at some point today

It's unclear exactly what time, but we do know this. His high-profile case has continued to spark a national discussion about the health care industry

And take a look at your screens for a moment because this is the federal indictment that was returned by a federal grand jury

It contains four counts against Mangione, charging him with two counts of stalking, firearms defense, and murder through the use of a firearm, which carries the possibility of the death penalty

Earlier this month, Attorney General Pam Bondi already made it clear she intended to pursue the death penalty

Mangione defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifolo filed a motion last week seeking to preclude it arguing that Bondi directive goes against the recommendation of local federal prosecutors the law and historical precedent deeming it a political stunt Mangione is charged with stalking UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson

and then shooting him to death outside the Hilton in Midtown Manhattan this past December

He was arrested on the run five days later in Altoona, Pennsylvania. And in addition to the federal indictment, Mangione is being charged in Pennsylvania

and here in New York where he faces murder and terrorism charges. In committing this murder, he crossed state lines

He used an interstate bus line to travel across state lines to commit this murder

It was planned. It was premeditated. Sean Diddy Combs is also expected in federal court at 11 o'clock this morning

An evidentiary hearing is scheduled to handle pretrial issues. The judge is expected to address a request by Diddy's lawyers to delay that trial for two months

They claim prosecutors have been slow to turn over potential evidence for review, making it difficult to prepare for the trial, which is set for May 5th

And it will be a very busy day here at federal court, with closing arguments set to continue in the Nadine Menendez case

Prosecutors argue that she wasn't an innocent bystander in the bribery scheme that landed her husband, former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, 11 years in prison

For now, we're live here, though, in lower Manhattan. Deshaunni, back to you

Briella, thank you
