A federal court fight over President Trumps plan to build a massive ballroom on the site of the former East Wing of the White House has recently pulled a long-quiet project into public view: the overhaul of a military bunker buried deep underground.
The military is building a big complex under the ballroom, which has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed, Trump told reporters on a Sunday in late March aboard Air Force One.
Crews are carving out a new Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) beneath the surface of Trumps proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom, details of which are slowly coming to light in court filings and the presidents own comments about the usually secretive project.
His decision last October to demolish the existing East Wing was met with swift pushback from Democratic lawmakers, historians and preservation groups.
