Former Attorney General Pam Bondi's surprise return to Donald Trump's administration has sparked fresh controversy, after a former federal prosecutor claimed the move is part of a calculated effort to keep a lid on unreleased files relating to Jeffrey Epstein. What looks on paper like a routine staffing decision has quickly been recast by critics as a high‑stakes bid to control damaging information.
On Tuesday, Axios reported that Bondi has been selected to serve on the president's artificial intelligence task force. In this new role, she is slated to work alongside prominent business leaders, including AI industry figure David Sacks. The appointment follows her recent dismissal from the administration, a termination that occurred before Trump named Todd Blanche as acting attorney general.
