- The Pentagon's Inspector General found that secrecy around Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's hospitalizations increased risks to U.S. National security, as stated in a report released on Wednesday.
- The review examined Austin's hospitalizations related to prostate cancer in late 2023 and early 2024, which were kept secret from the White House and top officials for days.
- The Inspector General made 20 recommendations to improve information flow and decision-making processes within the Department of Defense and across agencies.
- Austin acknowledged mistakes in handling his hospitalizations, stating, 'I should have told the President about my cancer diagnosis,' and took full responsibility for the lack of transparency.
