US EditionPatel: FBI agents will get paid during shutdown
FBI agents and military personnel continue receiving pay during the shutdown as the administration uses previous fiscal year funds to maintain critical operations.
- In the Oval Office, FBI Director Kash Patel said FBI agents will continue receiving pay during the shutdown, thanking Trump for `finding a way` to get these individuals paid during a government shutdown.
- Earlier this week, the Pentagon moved to pay members of the military using 8 billion in unobligated funds after funding lapsed on Oct. 1.
- Legal experts flagged the move, noting the administration's authority to selectively fund agencies during the shutdown, while a federal court temporarily halted planned firings on Wednesday.

- The move departs from precedent that typically federal workers go unpaid until Congress acts, while efforts to pass short-term funding have failed as House Republicans press Democrats over military pay risks.
