Trump appoints former Attorney General Bondi to White House AI panel: Report

Pam Bondi will help shape federal AI strategy and advise on legal barriers as the panel adds more than a dozen tech executives, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump appointed former Attorney General Pam Bondi to the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, a White House AI advisory panel co-chaired by David Sacks and Michael Kratsios.
  • Trump removed Bondi from her post on April 2 after growing frustrated with her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and her failure to quickly prosecute his political adversaries, though she had anticipated at least a month to transition to the private sector.
  • FBI staff were reportedly instructed to flag mentions of Trump in Epstein documents, with his name appearing more than 1,000 times in files released in January 2026 containing more than three million pages; Bondi initially promised transparency in February 2025 but by July 15 DOJ stated the client list she claimed to possess did not exist.
  • Vice President JD Vance called Bondi 'an enormously valuable asset to the president's team,' while AI czar David Sacks stated she was 'better positioned' than anyone to advise on legal and regulatory barriers, offering strong support despite her controversial exit.
  • Bondi faces testimony before the House Oversight Committee on May 29 regarding her Epstein files handling, while her appointment signals that loyalty continues to carry weight in Trump's circle as the administration integrates political coordination into its artificial intelligence strategy.
