RAW STORY

Attorney General Pam Bondi has quietly removed a post she made to X on Tuesday that purported to tout the success of the Trump administration's anti-drug efforts — but instead accidentally revealed how much progress on combating overdoses was made by the preceding Biden administration.
The original post showed a graph tracking overdose deaths across various regions of the United States, crediting the across-the-board decline to President Donald Trump's tough policies cracking down on trafficking.
"Since day one, the Trump Administration and this Department of Justice have been fighting to end the drug epidemic in our country," wrote Bondi. "President Trump closed the border. DOJ agents have seized hundreds of millions of potentially lethal fentanyl doses. We are aggressively prosecuting drug traffickers and cartel leaders. These are the results."
Commenters, however, were quick to point out that the chart only showed data up to October 2024, before the presidential election had even taken place.
As of the evening, liberal network Meidas Touch confirmed that the original post to Bondi's account has been wiped from X.
Ironically, a number of previous reports have indicated that contrary to Bondi's claims, drug prosecutions have actually plummeted under the Trump administration, as federal agents have been pulled off those cases to handle low-level immigration enforcement to prepare for mass deportation
