Trump Building Secret White House Bunker to Withstand Nuclear Attack

The decades-old underground complex beneath the White House East Wing, which included the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), was dismantled during a controversial demolition tied to Trump’s new ballroom project, with plans for a classified replacement using modern technology underway, according to CNN.

During a National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) meeting, a senior White House official referenced “top-secret” work as the reason demolition proceeded before typical approvals, while a recent court filing argued that halting underground construction would “endanger national security,” according to CNN’s account of the meeting.
