U.S. Defense Secretary Austin's "off duty" caused shock.
Austin, 70, underwent prostate cancer treatment surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on December 22 last year. On January 1 this year, Austin was hospitalized again due to postoperative complications. It was not until January 9 that Biden learned that Austin was suffering from prostate cancer. The entire "off-duty" incident is not only chaotic in the transfer of power and delayed in the process, but also full of opacity.
