President Trump appoints former Attorney General Pam Bondi to the White House Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), according to reports from The Economic Times and The Hill. The announcement places Bondi on the administration’s science and technology advisory panel nearly two months after Trump fired her from her role heading the Department of Justice. A White House official cited by The Hill says Bondi will serve on PCAST, joining other business and technology leaders already named to the council. The appointments come as the White House continues to structure an advisory group intended to provide input on science and technology policy. While sources describe the timing relative to Bondi’s DOJ departure, both accounts focus on her new role on the White House panel and do not indicate she is returning to government as Attorney General. Details on her specific responsibilities within the council are not provided in the excerpts.
