President Donald Trump fired Bondi as attorney general in early April and Todd Blanche is now serving as acting attorney general.
She is scheduled to testify Friday in the House Oversight Committee鈥檚 Jeffrey Epstein probe.
Axios was first to report and also reported that she will have a new role in the administration, joining the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
When asked about Bondi鈥檚 new role, Vice President JD Vance told CNN in a statement, 鈥淧am has been an enormously valuable asset to the president鈥檚 team, and I鈥檓 thrilled for her and for all of us that she鈥檚 going to remain involved in confronting some of the most important issues the administration faces.鈥�
For months before her firing, Trump had been discussing over what he believed was a failure to aggressively bring cases against his political foes.
She was also criticized for her handling of the Epstein files, which proved to be a never-ending headache for the administration and for the president himself as he faced criticism for his own friendship with the convicted sex offender.
