Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been released from the hospital after a secret hospitalization that he hid from President Joe Biden. Military officials confirmed that Austin, 70, was discharged on Jan. 15 and will continue his recovery at home while working remotely. Doctors at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland, Dr. John Maddox and Dr. Gregory Chesnut, assured that Austin’s strength is rebounding and he is expected to make a full recovery. Austin’s hospitalization was a result of complications from an undisclosed surgery to treat his early-diagnosed prostate cancer, which has been successfully addressed with no further treatment planned. Despite concerns about the lack of transparency, President Biden has expressed his support for Austin and rejected calls for his resignation. An internal review of notification procedures is underway, and investigations have been initiated by Congress and the Pentagon’s inspector general. Austin, committed to increased transparency, expressed his gratitude for the care received at the hospital and his eagerness to fully recover and return to the Pentagon as soon as possible.
