Following the scandal of secrecy, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was discharged from the hospital.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was released from the hospital after spending two weeks there to treat complications from prostate cancer surgery that he kept secret from the Biden administration. Austin will be working from home as he recovers, and his doctors have said he is progressing well. The lack of transparency about Austin's hospitalization has triggered administration and Defense Department reviews on the procedures for notifying the White House and others if a Cabinet member must transfer decision-making authorities to a deputy, as Austin did during his initial surgery and a portion of his latest hospital stay.
