US Defense Chief Austin Faces Congressional Inquiry Over Hospitalization Non-Disclosure


In a surprising turn of events, the Chair of the U.S. House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, Mike Rogers, has called on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to testify before the panel regarding the delayed disclosure of his recent hospitalization. Austin, who had been receiving treatment for prostate cancer since the beginning of the year, failed to inform President Joe Biden about his hospitalization in a timely manner, causing criticism from lawmakers and catching the White House off guard. The committee aims to understand the circumstances surrounding the non-disclosure and determine the decision-makers responsible for keeping the whereabouts of a cabinet secretary undisclosed.
