Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton said Monday that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s failure to disclose his hospitalization “raises some troubling questions” as to what may be being concealed about President Joe Biden’s health.
Austin was hospitalized last week because of complications from an elective medical procedure, but failed to inform anyone of his whereabouts in the days following, including the White House, Pentagon and his deputy Defense secretary. Cotton told Fox News’ Sandra Smith that Biden’s ignorance as to Austin’s condition separately raises concerns about the president’s own physical and mental health.
