National News – Former US Attorney General Pam Bondi has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, according to reports confirmed on Wednesday, May 27, 2026.

The diagnosis comes after she was removed from her role as the United States Attorney General by President Donald Trump in April 2026.

Bondi, aged 60, is currently undergoing treatment, including surgery performed a few weeks ago, while continuing to serve in advisory roles.

The development, reported by CBS News and covered by BBC partner sources, confirms that Pam Bondi, a former top US law enforcement official, is battling thyroid cancer in the United States.

The diagnosis was revealed 48 minutes after breaking reports on May 27, 2026, following her dismissal from office in April by President Donald Trump.

Bondi told reporters she has already undergone surgery and is continuing medical treatment while still performing limited duties.

The cause of the illness has not been publicly detailed, but thyroid cancer generally has a high survival rate and is often treatable.

Bondi is also expected to join the White House’s advisory council on artificial intelligence, known as PCAST, highlighting her continued involvement in national policy discussions.

Officials noted that she will still testify before Congress regarding the Epstein files investigation, which has drawn bipartisan scrutiny in Washington.

The case underscores ongoing political transitions within the US government and raises public attention on health disclosures of senior officials.

Medical experts note thyroid cancer is highly treatable with survival rates above 98%, depending on stage and early detection.

Her continued participation in the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology highlights ongoing influence in US policy.

The diagnosis has also triggered discussion in Washington about transparency and health disclosure for senior officials.
