Pam Bondi is recovering after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after President Trump removed her from her role as attorney general, according to an Axios report.
Bondi, 60, underwent treatment for the illness and is now said to be recuperating, Axios reported.
The disclosure surfaced as reports emerged that Trump plans to appoint Bondi to a new advisory panel focused on artificial intelligence initiatives.
According to Axios, Bondi — who was dismissed from the Justice Department the same day she joined President Trump at the U.S. Supreme Court for oral arguments in a major birthright citizenship dispute — is expected to serve on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, known as PCAST.
News of Bondi’s diagnosis prompted an outpouring of support online, with many praising the way she handled the health crisis away from the public spotlight.
“Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s …. the last few weeks,” podcast host and former White House official Katie Miller wrote on X.
“[Bondi] has a heart of gold,” Miller added.
Medical experts say the vast majority of thyroid cancer cases can be successfully treated. According to the Cleveland Clinic, most forms of the disease are considered highly curable.
Doctors note that patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer generally face an “excellent” outlook, with survival rates exceeding 98% after five years.
Bondi is not the only figure tied to Trump’s orbit to confront the disease. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, later disclosed in his memoir that he quietly battled thyroid cancer while serving in the White House during Trump’s first administration.
Kushner underwent surgery to remove a tumor from his throat while overseeing Middle East policy efforts for Trump, and later had an additional thyroid-related procedure in 2022 after leaving government service.
Following her removal as attorney general, Bondi publicly pledged to remain loyal to Trump and continue supporting his agenda.
“Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime, and easily the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history,” she posted on X last month.
“I remain eternally grateful for the trust that President Trump placed in me to Make America Safe Again.”
President Trump has since selected Todd Blanche to serve as interim attorney general while a permanent replacement is considered.

This is terrible and heartless by the white racist Trump. Trump must resign immediately or face impeachment.
Go learn and stop wasting your time on the democrats
She was a good AG.
I was disappointed in DJT for removing her. She served with integrity and was very diligent in her employment execution. It was wrong to have asked her, as I saw it.
Can you please give us some solid examples of what she accomplished as AG?
Ever heard of any upper-class person dying of cancer before Trump came to office? No, because marijuana – a cure for cancer which is not FDA approved for peasants – was used for them for decades. However, since Trump’s first term “cancer” is the official excuse for getting rid of elite criminals, i.e. McCain, “king” Charles, etc.
True. A few years ago, those they wanted out were ‘diagnosed with covid’. Today it’s ‘diagnosed with cancer’.
