A newly released 911 call shows how Lloyd Austinās team tried to hide his hospital visit before an ambulance even arrived.
In the call, an aide can be heard requesting that an ambulance come but not use its sirens or lights during its trip to Austinās residence or on the trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
āYes, maāam. So my name is [redacted] and I work for [redacted] and Iām requesting an ambulanceā¦ can I ask that the ambulance not show up with the lights and sirens? Weāre trying to remain a little subtle.ā
Austin was hospitalized on New Yearās Day with complications resulting from prostate cancer treatment - something he waited three whole days before informing the White House about.
Because they have no standards, the White House has decided to publicly stand with Austin amid the resulting scandal, and most Congressional Democrats have remained silent, with almost zero exceptions. Rep. Chris Deluzio has been the only Democrat to call for Austinās resignation so far, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has said Austin shouldnāt resign.
