Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin leaves hospital for 3rd time in 2 months

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, 70, was admitted to intensive care at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a bladder issue, his second hospitalization since undergoing surgery for prostate cancer in December.
Austin received criticism for not promptly informing the White House about his prior hospitalization in January, but he took full responsibility. He is scheduled to testify before Congress regarding withholding information about his initial hospitalization.
Austin has been released from the hospital and has resumed his full duties. The bladder issue was not related to his cancer diagnosis and will not affect his recovery. He is expected to host a virtual meeting for coordinating military aid to Ukraine.
