In a surprising turn of events, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has come under fire for failing to disclose his hospitalization to President Joe Biden and other key figures within the administration. Austin's lack of transparency has raised concerns among Republicans, with some even calling for his resignation. Democrats, on the other hand, have labeled it as a mistake but are demanding answers.
The ordeal began when Austin underwent an elective procedure on December 22nd and spent the night at the hospital. Astonishingly, neither the White House nor Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks were informed of Austin's hospital stay. Throughout the Christmas holiday, Austin continued to work from home and held numerous calls with his counterparts.
