Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Undergo Procedure, Temporarily Transfer Power to Deputy
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will undergo a minimally invasive procedure at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday evening. The procedure is elective and unrelated to his prostate cancer diagnosis. Austin will temporarily transfer power to Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks while he is indisposed. The Pentagon has notified the White House and Congress about the procedure. This latest development follows Austin's hospitalization for bladder issues after surgery for prostate cancer. He faced criticism for not informing the president or Congress about his diagnosis and hospitalization. Following the controversy, Austin pledged to be more transparent about his health.
