[ad_1]
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden is not considering firing Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, a White House official said on Monday, but the official was unaware whether Austin was unconscious in the last several days.
Austin withheld his hospitalization on New Year’s Day from the president and the public for days and on Saturday said he took “full responsibility” for the secrecy.
