Today Attorney General Jeff Sessions released the following
statement on President Trump’s plan to end the devastating opioid epidemic:
“Drug dealers show no respect for human dignity and put
their own greed ahead of the safety and even the lives of others. Drug
trafficking is an inherently violent and deadly business: if you want to
collect a drug debt, you collect it with the barrel of a gun. As surely as
night follows day, violence and death follow drug trafficking, and murder is
often a tool of drug traffickers.
“At the Department of Justice, we have made ending the drug
epidemic a priority. We will continue to aggressively prosecute drug traffickers
and we will use federal law to seek the death penalty wherever appropriate.
“I want to thank the President for his strong leadership on
this issue and I join him in sending the message that business as usual has
ended.”
