Pam Bondi: Fentanyl Shipment from China Seized in Mexico ‘Could Have Wiped Out a Small State’

EXCERPT:

BONDI: "It’s unreal. And thank you to President Trump — the President and I talked about this on multiple occasions, these drugs flowing into our country and yes, from China, President Xi. They are either coming directly in and this shipment was intercepted, thank goodness, to the Mexicans to Mexico. Fentanyl, Ainsley, is 50 to 70 more times powerful than heroin if you think about that. It just takes a few grains to kill you. This massive shipment really could have wiped out a small state in our country. So, thank goodness for the Mexican authorities and President Trump for dealing with the Mexicans on this. And President Xi, they need to get their act together. Because not only are they funneling it through Mexico, but they are also sending it directly into our country. I witnessed that first hand when I was attorney general and, you know, it’s devastating to our young people."
