The White House 発表するd 大統領 Biden 支援するs 弁護 長官 Lloyd Austin (seen above with Biden and?母国 安全 長官 Alejandro Mayorkas at the White House on August 30th)

Earlier Monday, Ryder 定評のある that he knew of Austin's 入院 on Jan. 2 and should have 押し進めるd to 知らせる the public sooner.

In an hour-long 支援する-and-前へ／外へ with reporters, which was held off-camera, Ryder?申し込む／申し出d no explanation as to why the White House wasn't 知らせるd sooner.

Asked if Austin directed any of his staff to 保留する （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状）, he answered 間接に, 説: 'That is one of the things we'll be looking at ーに関して／ーの点でs of 過程 改良s.'?

合法的な 専門家s told Reuters that Austin may have 侵害する／違反するd a U.S. 法律 on '報告（する）／憶測ing of vacancies' that 要求するs the 長，率いる of (n)役員／(a)執行力のある 機関s to '服従させる／提出する to the Comptroller General of the 部隊d 明言する／公表するs and to each House of 議会' any vacancies and the 指名する of the person filling the vacancy.

The Comptroller General would then relay that （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） to the 大統領，／社長 and the?Office of 職員／兵員 管理／経営.

The 法律 is 大部分は procedural and does not （一定の）期間 out any 刑罰，罰則s for lapses. Austin would likely 直面する only a けん責（する），戒告 from Biden.

一方／合間, the 海洋 軍団 発表するd late Monday that its commandant, Gen. Eric Smith, underwent successful open heart 外科 Monday.?

The 海洋 軍団 said the 外科 修理d a bicuspid aortic 弁 in Smith's heart, which 原因（となる）d his cardiac 逮捕（する） on Oct. 28. The Ma rine 軍団, 支援する in October, had 発表するd Smith's heart attack within 24 hours of it occurring.

The 誘発する public 公表，暴露 and 詳細（に述べる）s of the 外科 were in stark contrast to how 公式の／役人s 扱うd Austin's 外科.

The 海洋 軍団 扱うing of General Smith's 外科 has resulted in comparisons to the 米国防総省's 扱うing of 長官 Austin's 外科

The 米国防総省 continues to 辞退する to say what 手続き Austin had or 述べる the 複雑化s he 苦しむd.?

It's 不明瞭な if even the 大統領，／社長 knows but the White House made it （疑いを）晴らす that Biden 支援するs Austin.

'There are no 計画（する）s for anything other than for 長官 Austin to stay in the 職業 and continue in the leadership that he's been 論証するing,' White House 広報担当者 John Kirby told reporters on Monday.

'Our main 焦点（を合わせる） 権利 now is on 長官 Austin's health and making sure that he gets all the care and the support that he needs to fully 回復するd,' he said.

Neither Kirby nor White House 圧力（をかける） 長官 Karine ジーンズ-Pierre would say if Biden knows what 医療の 条件 his 弁護 長官 is 苦しむing from. Biden and Austin spoke on Saturday.

'I don't know the level of the 大統領，／社長's personal knowledge of his (Austin's) 医療の 状況／情勢. That would really be between the two men,' Kirby said.

'That it is not something that we can speak to 権利. This is his own 医療の - it is it is a 私的な thing ? this is something that the 長官 and the Department of 弁護 would speak to,' ジーンズ-Pierre said.

Kirby 誓約（する）d the White House would 調査／捜査する the 事柄, looking at the '過程 and 手続き' regarding the 場所 and health of 上級の 公式の／役人s after Biden was not told for four days that his 弁護 長官 was in the hospital.?

He said the 行政 would 成し遂げる a 'hot wash,' which is a 軍の 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 to 述べる an?激しい, quick review.?

'As you might 推定する／予想する, we'll take a look at 過程 and 手続き here. And try to learn from this experience and if there's some changes that need to be made, ーに関して／ーの点でs of 過程 and 手続き, we'll do that,' Kirby said.?

Rosendale is 検討する，考慮するing a 上院 run in Montana, even as GOP leaders have already thrown their 負わせる behind another 共和国の／共和党の in the race, Tim Sheehy.?

民主党員s, too, have 表明するd 関心.

Sen. Jack Reed, the 民主党員 from Rhode Island who 議長，司会を務めるs the 上院 武装した Services 委員会, made his first public 発言／述べるs about the 状況／情勢 on Monday. He spoke to Austin on Sunday.
