WASHINGTON — Pam Bondi is reportedly returning to the White House to serve on an advisory panel on artificial intelligence policy, an official confirmed overnight.
The news was first reported by Axios, which also revealed that the former U.S. attorney general was diagnosed with thyroid cancer following her departure from the White House in early April.
The advisory appointment was announced late Tuesday night by David Sacks, a venture capitalist who co-chairs the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, in a post on X.
“Winning the AI race means not only beating China but also clearing bureaucratic hurdles thrown up by state legislatures and woke politicians in D.C. No one is better positioned to support PCAST in this mission and to advise the president on legal and regulatory barriers than Pam Bondi,” Sacks wrote. “Excited to have her on board!”
Bondi was fired from her role as attorney general on April 2 following increasing scrutiny for her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
However, the president had praised her tenure while announcing her departure from the DOJ on TruthSocial in April, adding that Bondi would transition to a “much-needed and important new job in the private sector.”
Todd Blanche, who previously served as the president’s personal attorney, was appointed acting U.S. attorney general since her departure.
Bondi is scheduled to appear in front of the House Oversight Committee on Friday to testify on her handling of the Epstein files.
