Attorney General Pam Bondi abruptly canceled her scheduled Wednesday appearance at CPAC’s anti-trafficking summit in Washington, D.C., citing her recovery from a health issue.
Bondi was expected to speak at CPAC’s Summit Against Human Trafficking when it was revealed she could not make her scheduled appearance.
“I do have a note from the attorney general, from Attorney General Pam Bondi, that I wanted to share,” Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti told attendees.
Galeotti then read Bondi’s statement to the crowd.
“I’m sorry to miss all of my CPAC friends today,” Bondi said in her statement.
“Unfortunately, I am recovering from a recently torn cornea, which is preventing me from being with you,” she continued. “I truly wish I was able to join you and support all of the work being done on this critical issue.”
After reading the statement, scattered applause was heard from the audience.
“We appreciate the applause for her and not boos for me,” Galeotti joked. “So I will do my best to fill those big shoes.”
The Justice Department did not disclose additional information about Bondi’s health condition.
