On April 2, President Donald Trump announced that Pam Bondi was stepping down as U.S Attorney General. However, in reality, she was fire. She was replaced Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that Bondi would be “transitioning to a much-needed and important new job in the private sector,” praising her for her work in his administration. However, he offered no specific reason for why she would be leaving.
“Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900,” Trump wrote.
Now, it’s been revealed that shortly after her departure as U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Axios reported the news on Tuesday, adding that Bondi has already undergone treatment and is now recovering.
Per Axios, Bondi is expected to serve on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). It marks her return to a high-profile policy role after leaving the Justice Department.
