Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is being treated for prostate cancer and suffered complications that led to him being taken to hospital on New Year’s Day where he is still being treated, according to a statement Tuesday from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
The statement revealed that the cancer was discovered in early December. He underwent a “minimally invasive surgical procedure” on December 22 called a prostatectomy to treat the cancer.

Rogers and his colleagues on the panel expressed “grave concern” over the lack of clarity around Austin’s hospitalization potentially leading to a breakdown in the chain of command in a letter to Austin on Tuesday. He also probed why Kelly Magsamen, Austin’s chief of staff, delayed informing the White House for two days after Austin was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and Deputy Secretary Kathleen Hicks to clarify the responsibilities she assumed on Austin’s behalf despite being unaware of the reasoning behind the request.
