Rep. Mike Rogers opens inquiry into Lloyd Austin's failure to disclose hospitalization

House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL) opened an inquiry into Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Tuesday over his failure to properly disclose his hospitalization and cancer diagnosis.

Rogers sent three separate letters on Tuesday. They went to Austin, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, and Austin’s chief of staff, Kelly Magsamen, and were sent in the hope of getting full transparency on what happened during Austin’s hospitalization.
