Trump says his administration 'identified funds' to pay troops during shutdown

"I am using my authority, as Commander in Chief, to direct our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th," the president said in a post on the Truth Social media site. "We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS," Trump said.
