In a surprising revelation, Timothy Mellon, a reclusive billionaire and staunch supporter of Donald Trump, has been identified as the anonymous donor behind a $130 million contribution to support U.S. troops during the ongoing federal shutdown. This controversial donation raises questions about its legality and the implications for federal funding.
Amid a government shutdown, President Trump promises to ensure military personnel are paid on October 15, directing the Defense Department to utilize available funds, despite political tensions.
As the government shutdown escalates, House Speaker Mike Johnson cancels another week of votes, angering Democrats who demand action to pay troops. The fallout could be severe for military families missing paychecks.
