Former US Attorney General Pamela Bondi is battling thyroid cancer, having recently undergone surgery and continuing treatment. The diagnosis came after she left the Justice Department in April.
Despite her health challenges, Bondi is set to join a White House advisory committee focused on artificial intelligence policy. Vice President JD Vance expressed his confidence in her contributions, stating she has been a valuable asset to the president's team.
Bondi's new role will involve facilitating coordination between the government and committee members, which include prominent tech executives like Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg. She will also take on an advisory position concerning national infrastructure.
In addition to these new responsibilities, Bondi is still slated to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
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.
