A recent report from the Pentagon's watchdog has revealed that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin failed to inform Congress and the White House about his health issues as required. The report highlighted communication failures during Austin's hospitalization for prostate cancer treatment and subsequent complications last year.
The inspector general's report criticized Austin for keeping his hospitalization secret, even from President Joe Biden, for several days. It noted that Austin's desire for privacy likely influenced his staff's decision not to disclose his condition further.
