Attorney General Pam Bondi has spent the week sharing some remarkable statistics.

“Mr. President your first 100 days has far exceeded that of any other presidency in the country, ever. Ever. Never seen anything like it.” Then it was time for some stats.

“Since you have been in office, President Trump, your DOJ agencies have seized more than 22 million fentanyl pills, 3,400 kilos of fentanyl, which saved—are you ready for this, media?—258 million lives.”

I asked the department how it had arrived at this figure.

A spokesman for the DOJ responded with the following math:

1 kg of fentanyl * .1518 (current purity level) * 1000 (to convert to grams) / by .002 (amount needed for a deadly dose) = lethal dose of fentanyl
So, 3,400 Kg of fentanyl seized in Trump’s first 100 days
3400*.1518
*1000
/.002
=258,060,000 deadly doses
