Austin agrees to testify before Congress about his medical missteps

"Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will testify before lawmakers on Feb. 29 about the secrecy surrounding his cancer diagnosis and missteps made in informing senior administration officials about his emergency hospitalization in January, congressional sources said.

Officials from the House Armed Services Committee had initially planned to question Austin at a hearing on Feb. 14, but Austin was non-committal about appearing at that event when asked about it during a Feb. 1 press conference at the Pentagon."
