Former Attorney General Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after her departure from the Justice Department by President Trump, as reported on Tuesday.
Bondi, who is 60 years old, has undergone treatment for her condition and is currently in recovery, according to information from Axios.
This news emerges as President Trump has reportedly selected Bondi to join an advisory committee focused on artificial intelligence.
Despite being dismissed from her role at the Justice Department, coinciding with her attendance at a Supreme Court session on a significant birthright citizenship case, Bondi is set to join the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), Axios reports.
On social media, Bondi has been lauded for her resilience and positive approach in dealing with her cancer diagnosis.
“Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s ass the last few weeks,” podcast host and former White House official Katie Miller wrote on X.
“[Bondi] has a heart of gold,” Miller added.
