FILE - In this Sept. 29, 2009 file photo, Joseph Rannazzisi, the Drug Enforcement Administration's Deputy Assistant Administrator of the Office of Diversion Control, testifies during a hearing of the Senate Judiciary crime and drugs subcommittee on Capitol Hill in Washington.  The former top Drug Enforcement Administration official has ripped into Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s suggestion that a 2016 law she co-sponsored amid the opioid crisis may have had "unintended consequences.”  Rannazzisi said he told U.S. House staffers Blackburn worked with during a July 2014 call that the bill would hamper DEA’s ability to go after illicit opioid distribution. Blackburn faces Democratic ex-Gov. Phil Bredesen for Senate. She said she’s working with both parties to solve the crisis.(AP Photo/Haraz N. Ghanbari)
