WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said Monday that the administration will review what rules or procedures weren't followed when Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin did not disclose his hospitalization for days to President Joe Biden and top officials at the Pentagon and the National Security Council.
Kirby said there is an “expectation” among members of Biden's Cabinet that if one becomes hospitalized, “that will be notified up the chain of command.”
