Former U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is reportedly recovering after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer just weeks after her departure from the Trump administration.
According to multiple reports, Bondi, 60, received the diagnosis shortly after leaving the Department of Justice in early April. Sources say she underwent treatment, including surgery, and is currently recovering well.
The news surfaced as reports revealed that Bondi has been selected to serve on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), a White House advisory panel focused on areas such as artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.
Bondi’s departure from her role as attorney general attracted significant political attention after President Donald Trump announced her exit and named Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting attorney general. Despite leaving the position, Bondi publicly thanked Trump and said she remained committed to supporting the administration’s agenda.
Supporters and former colleagues have since shared messages of encouragement. Katie Miller, a former White House official, wrote online that Bondi had been “quietly” battling cancer over the past several weeks while continuing to focus on her recovery.
Medical experts note that thyroid cancer is often highly treatable when detected early, with strong recovery rates for many patients. Reports indicate Bondi is responding well to treatment and remains active in her professional plans moving forward.
As updates continue to emerge, many political figures and supporters have expressed hopes for her full recovery while closely following her next steps both professionally and personally.
