Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Testify on Secret Hospitalization

Austin's upcoming testimony before the House Armed Services Committee on Feb. 29 aims to address his failure to disclose a recent hospital stay and cancer diagnosis to top officials.

Lloyd Austin has agreed to testify at a House Armed Services hearing on Feb. 29 regarding his undisclosed hospitalization for prostate cancer surgery complications.
Austin apologized for not informing President Biden, Pentagon staff, and the public about his cancer diagnosis and treatment, taking full responsibility.
The Pentagon chief's hospitalization was not disclosed to the White House for three days, raising concerns about transparency and command control.
Several Republican lawmakers have called for Austin's resignation, citing a breach of trust and a lack of transparency.
The Department of Defense is conducting an internal review, and Austin has promised to immediately notify relevant officials if similar situations arise in the future.
