Pam Bondi has thyroid cancer, and is also taking on a new role.
The 60-year-old former Attorney General was diagnosed with the disease following Donald Trump firing her from the role in April.
She confirmed the news to CNN, saying she is now undergoing treatment, and just had surgery a few weeks ago “doing well, though.”
Despite the diagnosis, she is still scheduled to testify in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation in front of the House Oversight Committee on Friday (May 29).
In addition, Axios reports that Trump has appointed her to an advisory committee focused on AI policy.
“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,” JD Vance said to CNN in a statement.
According to sources close to the Attorney General, the President broke the news to her of her firing in four words as they were headed to the Supreme Court.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump signaled to Bondi she was fired by telling her, “I think it’s time.”
Earlier in 2026, Pam Bondi was subpoenaed to answer questions regarding the Department of Justice’s investigation into Epstein.
She sent a letter claiming all of the Epstein Files were released in February.
