Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s sudden and prolonged absence from the White House has sparked major concerns about the lack of transparency within the Biden administration. According to reports by NBC News, Austin underwent a secretive medical procedure to treat prostate cancer just days before Christmas, but failed to report his absence to the White House. The 70-year-old was diagnosed with cancer and underwent a prostatectomy on December 22, which led to complications and subsequent hospitalization at Walter Reed National Military Center.
The complications Austin faced included severe abdominal, hip, and leg pain, as well as a urinary tract infection and abdominal fluid collections that impaired the function of his small intestines. He was eventually placed in the intensive care unit for close monitoring and a higher level of care. The ordeal has raised questions about the Biden administration’s ability to handle military matters, especially amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine, and the Pacific.

Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks assumed some of Austin’s responsibilities while he was hospitalized, but President Joe Biden and Hicks were reportedly unaware of the situation until days later. This lack of communication and transparency within the administration has sparked further criticism and has added to the mounting challenges it faces, such as the crisis at the southern border and military tensions abroad.
