The Pentagon has vowed to “do better” after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s prostate cancer diagnosis was disclosed Tuesday. President Biden received the news within hours of the general public. This comes after revelations Biden and top Pentagon officials were also kept in the dark for several days about Austin’s hospitalization last week following complications from the treatment. White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients ordered a review of Cabinet protocols for delegating authority, while some Republican lawmakers are calling for Austin to step down amid the mounting controversy. Austin’s doctors say he is expected to make a full recovery.
