CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins may be in hot water.
Collins, who is also the network’s White House Correspondent, posted a tweet on Friday with a link to a website for Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man charged with assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
“Luigi Mangione’s legal defense team launched a new website today,” she wrote.

While Collins didn’t directly call on people to donate, the link suggested she wanted people to visit the website.
However, the journalist Stephen L. Miller pointed out a troubling detail regarding her links to the defense fund.
The woman representing Mangione, Karen Freidman Agnifilo, is a CNN legal analyst and will be a direct beneficiary of any fundraising efforts.

Mangione, who is currently awaiting trial in New York, is facing a charge first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder and multiple gun possession charges.
In a statement posted on the website set up by his defense, Mangione thanked people for all the support he has received.
“I am overwhelmed by – and grateful for – everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support,” Mangione said.
“Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC from across the country, and around the globe.”
“While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive.”
Thompson’s assassination has sparked debate around the ethics of vigilantism, with many people expressing sympathy for Mangioni on the grounds that he was making a statement about the greed and cruelty of the health industry in denying people’s medical insurance requests.
Mangione, who has also attracted admirers for his apparent good looks, has reportedly been flooded with support in the form of love letters and financial donations.
He has already raised $300,000 from over 10,000 people to help fund his legal defense. He is pleading not guilty to all charges.
