Former U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to return to the Trump administration in a new advisory capacity following treatment for thyroid cancer, according to administration allies.

Her appointment comes weeks after she left her post at the Department of Justice and withdrew from public view.

Bondi has been named to the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, a White House body focused on artificial intelligence policy, technology competition with China, and national infrastructure planning, according to reporting by the Washington Examiner and Axios.

Appointment to White House Science and Technology Council

The council was created through a March executive order and is becoming a key forum for shaping the administration’s technology agenda.

It is chaired by former White House AI adviser David Sacks and science adviser Michael Kratsios and includes prominent tech industry figures such as Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Ellison.

According to Axios, Bondi’s role will focus on coordination between senior administration officials and private sector leaders involved in the council.

She is also expected to contribute to discussions on national infrastructure policy, though her exact responsibilities have not been formally detailed by the White House.

Vice President JD Vance praised her continued involvement in the administration, saying in a statement: “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.”

Bondi has not yet been formally listed on the council’s public roster, though officials familiar with the matter say her appointment has been finalized internally.

Pam Bondi’s Health Battle

Bondi’s return follows an undisclosed battle with thyroid cancer, which reportedly began shortly after she stepped down as attorney general.

A source familiar with the matter told Axios that she was diagnosed soon after leaving the Department of Justice, underwent treatment, and is now recovering.

The condition had not been publicly disclosed until recent social media posts from White House figures.

Katie Miller, wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, made the first public reference to Bondi’s condition in a post on X, later reshared by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

“Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s ass the last few weeks. @PamBondi has a heart of gold,” Miller wrote.

Bondi had largely stayed out of public view after leaving her role at the Justice Department, fueling speculation about her next steps.

Trump had previously suggested she might move into the private sector before the advisory appointment was finalized.

Upcoming Testimony

Bondi’s departure from the Justice Department came during a broader leadership transition that saw former Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche take over in an acting capacity.

Since then, the department has moved forward with several high-profile initiatives, including new actions involving former FBI Director James Comey and a compensation program tied to claims of government misconduct.

Bondi is also scheduled to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, where lawmakers are expected to question her about the handling of files connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to congressional schedules.
