Pam Bondi, 60, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after President Trump dismissed her as U.S. Attorney General, a private health battle that played out in near-total silence even as her career in government came to an abrupt public end, Axios reported.
Bondi underwent treatment and is recovering. The diagnosis only surfaced after she left the Justice Department, meaning she absorbed the news while navigating what turned out to be one of the more turbulent exits in recent cabinet history. Her last day at the department was the same day she accompanied Trump to the Supreme Court to watch oral arguments in a major birthright citizenship case.
Katie Miller, a podcast host and former White House official, was among the first to pull back the curtain, posting on X to praise Bondi’s composure through the ordeal. “Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s ass the last few weeks,” Miller wrote, adding that Bondi “has a heart of gold.” The post drew a wave of support across social media.
Despite the circumstances of her exit, Bondi’s ties to the Trump administration are not gone. Trump has tapped her to join the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, known as PCAST, an advisory body focused on artificial intelligence. The appointment draws her back into the administration’s orbit even as she recovers.
