SouthernWorldwide.com – Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, news that emerged shortly after her departure from the Department of Justice last month.
Bondi, aged 60, concluded her tenure at the Justice Department in early April. A source revealed to Axios that she has already undergone treatment and is currently in recovery.
The report of her diagnosis was shared on X by Katie Miller, a former White House staffer and podcast host. Miller, who is married to White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, stated that Bondi has been “quietly kicking cancer’s ass the last few weeks.”
Miller also described Bondi as having “a heart of gold,” further emphasizing her character amidst the health news.
This health update coincides with the news that President Donald Trump has appointed Bondi to an advisory committee focused on artificial intelligence policy. This appointment highlights her continued involvement in significant policy discussions.
According to the report, Bondi is slated to serve on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. This council plays a crucial role in shaping national policy in these advanced fields.
The council is co-chaired by David Sacks, who serves as the White House AI and crypto czar, and Michael Kratsios, the White House science adviser. Their leadership will guide the council’s work.
Bondi’s role on the council is expected to involve facilitating coordination between the federal government and technology executives who are also part of the panel. This suggests a focus on bridging the gap between policy and innovation.
The announcement of Bondi’s diagnosis and her new advisory role comes just weeks after President Trump removed her as attorney general. This transition marks a significant shift in her public service career.
In a statement on Truth Social announcing her departure, Trump lauded Bondi as “a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend.” His words conveyed a strong endorsement of her service and character.
Trump specifically highlighted Bondi’s contributions, stating, “Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900.” This emphasizes the impact of her work on national safety.
“We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future,” Trump added, hinting at her future endeavors.
Following Bondi’s exit, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has been serving as the acting attorney general. He has stepped into the role to ensure continuity in the department’s operations.
In a post on X confirming her departure from the Justice Department, Bondi expressed her gratitude. She stated, “I remain eternally grateful for the trust that President Trump placed in me to Make America Safe Again.” This sentiment underscores her commitment to the administration’s goals.
“Over the next month I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration,” Bondi wrote. This outlines her immediate plans and ongoing loyalty.

“Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime, and easily the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history,” she concluded. This statement reflects her pride in her accomplishments and her perspective on the department’s impact.
