Lloyd Austin was released from the hospital where he was admitted on January 1st, following complications arising from prostate cancer surgery that he underwent on December 22nd. The Pentagon announced this in a note, specifying that the Secretary of Defense will continue his convalescence at home, working remotely.
“The Secretary of Defense continues to recover well and, on the advice of doctors, will resume performing his duties remotely for a period of time before returning full-time to the Pentagon,” reads the note, which highlights that Austin “has full access to all necessary secure lines of communication.” The story of Austin’s hospitalization sparked controversy in recent days, when it was discovered that for several days, until January 4, it had not been communicated to the White House and Joe Biden. The Pentagon launched an internal investigation into the matter.
