Austin out of hospital after infection from secret surgery
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was released from the hospital after spending two weeks due to complications from secret prostate cancer surgery. Austin, 70, will be working from home during his recovery, with doctors stating his prognosis is “excellent.” His hospitalization and diagnosis were kept secret from senior Biden administration leaders and staff for weeks, triggering reviews on procedures for notifying the White House about a Cabinet member’s health. Austin’s secrecy sparked criticism from Congress members, some demanding his resignation, while the White House confirmed his job is safe.
