President Trump has revealed the military is constructing a massive underground complex beneath the new ballroom being built at the White House, a detail that only surfaced publicly due to a lawsuit filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation over the $400 million privately funded project that includes bulletproof glass and a drone-proof roof.

The White House has a long history of underground infrastructure for national security, beginning with the expansion of the East Wing during World War II under FDR to conceal the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) and a hardened tunnel connecting to secure vaults in the Treasury Building for presidential evacuation.

Over the decades, rumors have persisted of an extensive network of tunnels linking the White House to the Capitol, Blair House, the Pentagon, the Vice President’s residence, and even Camp David, with some connections like the Treasury tunnel being well-documented while others remain classified or unconfirmed.
