"Controversy Surrounds Defense Secretary Austin's 'Subtle' Ambulance Request"

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's aide requested a subtle ambulance approach without lights and sirens during a 911 call for Austin's New Year's Day hospitalization, which was kept secret for days, triggering a political uproar and calls for Austin's removal from prominent Republicans. Despite criticism, President Biden expressed confidence in Austin, while it remains unclear why senior administration officials were not informed about Austin's cancer and post-surgical complications.
