Former US Attorney General Pam Bondi diagnosed with cancer

Pam Bondi, the former US Attorney General, has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, according to reports. The diagnosis came shortly after her removal from the top law enforcement post last month. Bondi, 60, confirmed she is undergoing treatment, which included surgery a few weeks ago.

Despite her diagnosis, Bondi remains active and is set to join the White House's new advisory council on artificial intelligence, the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). Podcast host Katie Miller shared on social media that Bondi has been "quietly kicking cancer's ass" and possesses a "heart of gold."

Thyroid cancer generally has a favorable prognosis, with a five-year survival rate exceeding 98% for most forms, according to the Cleveland Clinic. It is often treatable and curable. The specific stage of Bondi's cancer has not been disclosed.

Bondi's inclusion on the PCAST council marks her first public role since leaving the Department of Justice in early April, when she expressed excitement about moving into the private sector. Vice President JD Vance praised Bondi's continued involvement, calling her an "enormously valuable asset to the president's team."

Bondi, known for her loyalty to President Trump, is also scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding her handling of the Epstein files. Both she and Trump have faced bipartisan criticism over the Justice Department's release of these files, with some lawmakers alleging that crucial information was withheld from the public.
