President Donald Trump said Saturday that \u201cwe have identified funds\u201d to pay military troops on October 15 as the government shutdown is headed into a third week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post to Truth Social<\/a>, Trump said he will \u201cdirect our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funds for military paychecks will be pulled from the Pentagon\u2019s research and development money that\u2019s available for two years, according to a spokesperson for the White House Office of Management and Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pentagon said in a statement that it \u201chas identified approximately $8 billion of unobligated research development testing and evaluation funds\u201d from the prior fiscal year that will be used to issue paychecks if the shutdown continues past October 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move to redirect funds that lawmakers have already appropriated could open the Trump administration up to legal challenges, because Congress holds the power of the purse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As service members were in danger of missing their first paychecks, congressional GOP leaders had rejected the idea<\/a> of voting on a standalone bill for military pay, marking the most dramatic step yet to attempt to force Democrats to end the shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump had previously promised<\/a> that service members would still be paid despite the government shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will get our service members every last penny. Don\u2019t worry about it,\u201d Trump said at a Navy event in Norfolk, Virginia, last weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also unclear whether the US Coast Guard \u201a which is the only military branch that operates under the Department of Homeland Security \u2014 would receive pay from the diverted funds. During a partial government shutdown in 2019, active-duty Coast Guard members did not receive paychecks<\/a> \u2014 the first time in history that US Armed Forces service members were not paid during a lapse in government funding. They were later given back pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
