Two weeks after an ambulance ride and admission to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center’s intensive care unit, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has been released. He will be “working from home” as he recovers. There is no prognosis on when he will return to the office.
This whole episode began at the Defense Department press conference on Friday, January 5, when a written statement was released revealing that Austin was in the hospital, having been admitted on New Year’s Day.
