US Secretary of Defense Austin back in the hospital. Lloyd Austin, who was suffering from cancer, had to go to a military clinic because of an acute bladder problem.
According to the Pentagon, his deputy is ready. Austin only returned to work at the Pentagon at the end of January after a lengthy period of illness. At the beginning of the year he came under heavy criticism for keeping secret his diagnosis of prostate cancer and a hospital stay following complications from a procedure. He was released from the hospital on January 15th and initially did not work from the Pentagon.
