Drug experts say U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s statement ignores critical facts about fentanyl and drug seizures.

Attorney General Pam Bondi toured the only federal lab in the country providing end-to-end analysis of the ingredients fueling fentanyl trafficking Tuesday, getting an up close and personal look at how deadly the synthetic opioid is — and how quickly it can be manufactured.

These posts correctly attributed the quote to Bondi. During a Cabinet meeting on April 30, 2025, Bondi claimed the Department of Justice under Trump had seized more than 22 million pills and 3,400 kilos of fentanyl, which she said had saved more than 258 million lives.
