WASHINGTON— The Pentagon released new details Sunday about Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s continued hospitalization, saying he had a medical procedure on Dec. 22, went home a day later, and was admitted to intensive care on Jan. 1 when he began experiencing severe pain.
The latest information came as members of both parties in Congress expressed sharp concerns about the secrecy of Mr. Austin’s hospital stay and the fact that the president and other senior leaders were kept in the dark about it for days.
