Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was taken to the hospital on Sunday for “symptoms suggesting an emergent bladder issue,” weeks after a separate hospital stay sparked concern over transparency from the Pentagon.

Austin was transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at 2:20 p.m. EST, and the White House, Congress, and other Department of Defense officials were notified, according to Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder.
