Former Attorney General Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after she left the Department of Justice, as per an Axios report. This news came to light as the publication noted that President Donald Trump appointed Bondi to an advisory committee focused on AI policy.
Bondi has not officially spoken about this diagnosis yet.
The news of Bondi’s cancer diagnosis was met with shock among MAGA supporters. Nick Sortor, an independent journalist, noted “HORRIBLE news. Say a prayer for Pam Bondi tonight. Cancer is a HORRIBLE disease that I’d never wish on anyone.”
Katie Miller, wife of Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, added “Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s ass the last few weeks.” Yet another said “Prayers up for Bondi. Even if you don’t agree with her, cancer is horrible.”

Pam Bondi last social media post in focus
Bondi’s most recent post has been an AI-generated video, which she put out on May 24, ahead of Memorial Day. The image shows a cross, lighting up the sky, behind a giant flag of the US. As the cross shines bright like the sun, the large flag flutters, as do the smaller flags placed in front of gravestones, as seen in the frame.
Notably, Memorial Day is celebrated to mourn and honor the fallen military personnel who sacrificed their lives in the service of the Armed Forces.
The text on the video read “God bless our heroes.” Axios also reported that Bondi underwent treatment for cancer is now recovering.

Bondi will now be on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), after being ousted from the AG post last month. Former White House AI adviser David Sacks chairs the panel along with White House science adviser Michael Kratsios.
The panel also includes over a dozen tech executives, including Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. Bondi’s role will be to facilitate coordination between the government and the tech giants on the panel.
Speaking about her appointment, Vice President JD Vance told Axios, “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.” Apart from her recent gig, Bondi will also serve in a newly created advisory role on the infrastructure of the nation.
