#TimothyMellon, a wealthy banking heir & railroad magnate, is a longtime backer of #Trump ….

A grandson of former Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon, Mr. Mellon was not a prominent Republican donor until Trump was elected. But in recent years, he has poured HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars into supporting Trump & the #Republican Party.

#TimothyMellon, who lives primarily in Wyoming, keeps a low profile despite his prolific political spending. He is also a significant supporter of #Health Secy #RFKJr, who also ran for president last year. Mellon donated millions to Kennedy’s presidential campaign & has also given money to his #AntiVax group, Children’s *Health* Defense.

The #Pentagon said it accepted the donation under the “general gift acceptance authority.”

“The donation was made on the condition that it be used to offset the cost of service members’ salaries & benefits,” Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief propagandist, said in a stmnt.

Still, the donation appears to be a potential violation of the #AntideficiencyAct, which prohibits federal agencies from spending money in excess of congressional appropriations or from accepting voluntary services.
