Attorney General Pam Bondi shared and then deleted a graph showing a steep drop in drug overdose deaths after she was busted trying to give the Trump administration credit for progress made under Joe Biden.

The graph, which tracked overdose deaths from October 2015 to October 2024, showed that deaths surged nationwide beginning in 2015 with the advent of fentanyl, according to a June 2025 article from JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association.
