Key Points at a Glance – Pam Bondi Battled Secret Thyroid Cancer
- Pam Bondi, 60, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after being fired as AG in April 2026.
- She has undergone treatment and is recovering — confirmed by White House ally Katie Miller on social media.
- Trump appointed Bondi to the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) — a White House AI panel.
- PCAST includes Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Ellison.
- She is also joining a newly established advisory role on national infrastructure.
- VP Vance praised her return: “Pam has been an enormously valuable asset to the president’s team.”
- This is the third cancer diagnosis among senior Trump administration officials — after Susie Wiles (breast cancer) and Tulsi Gabbard’s husband (bone cancer).
- Bondi is still scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee on May 29 regarding Epstein files.
She was fired. Then she got cancer. Now she’s back and she’s working on artificial intelligence.
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has been quietly undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer. Axios reported the diagnosis occurred shortly after she left the Department of Justice. Katie Miller, wife of key Trump advisor Stephen Miller, confirmed on social media: “Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s a** the last few weeks. @PamBondi has a heart of gold.”
The New Role — From the Courtroom to the AI Council
Bondi will serve on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. The panel is chaired by former White House AI adviser David Sacks and White House science adviser Michael Kratsios. Bondi will also serve in a newly established advisory role on national infrastructure.
Vice President JD Vance said: “Pam has been an enormously valuable asset to the president’s team, and I’m thrilled for her and for all of us that she’s going to remain involved in confronting some of the most important issues the administration faces.”
Why She Was Fired — And Why She’s Still Relevant
Trump had a long list of frustrations with Bondi, including her failure to manage the public furor over the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking case files, and the fact that under her watch, several politically-motivated prosecutions ended in failure. Bondi’s cancer diagnosis is the third to rock administration officials over the last year.
Despite the firing, the appointment signals Trump still values Bondi — just in a different capacity. Notably, she is still scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee on May 29 about the Epstein files — a drama that contributed to her original ouster.
