Congressional Democrat calls for Sec. Austin’s resignation

A Democrat in Congress is urging President Biden’s defense secretary to resign. Representative Chris Deluzio of Pennsylania is the first Democrat to call for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s resignation. The Pentagon chief is under fire for keeping his cancer diagnosis, surgery, and hospitalization a secret from the White House. Deluzio, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, wrote on social media that he has “lost trust” in Austin’s leadership “due to the lack of transparency.” GC, Wash.
