Former Attorney General Pam Bondi is poised to return to the Trump administration in a new advisory capacity following an undisclosed battle with thyroid cancer, according to multiple reports and public statements from administration allies.Less than two months after her ouster as attorney general, President Donald Trump has appointed Bondi to the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, a group that is increasingly central to the administration’s push to shape artificial intelligence policy and competition with China. Created via a March executive order, the White House advisory panel is chaired by former White House AI adviser David Sacks and White House science adviser Michael Kratsios and includes a roster of major technology executives such as Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Ellison.Although Bondi is not yet listed on the panel’s online roster, Axios reported that the former Florida attorney general and career lobbyist will help facilitate coordination between administration officials and the tech leaders serving on the panel while also taking on a newly established advisory role tied to national infrastructure initiatives.
“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,” Vice President JD Vance said in a statement.
