Mystery donor gives $130m to US military for paying troops during shutdown

The United States is in a federal shutdown due to the failure to pass the budget on time. President Trump has ordered the military to be paid even though civilian workers have been laid off due to the financial crisis. After that, the Pentagon mysteriously received a grant of $130 million. According to the New York Times, this money was given by billionaire Timothy Milone, close to Trump.
