President Donald Trump confirmed that the military was involved in the construction of a “big complex” underneath his new White House ballroom – and hinted at it being a new bunker.

While speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One, the president provided updates on his $400 million ballroom and showed off renderings of the 90,000-square-foot structure, which replaced the original East Wing.

“The military is building a big complex under the ballroom, which has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed,” Trump said, referring to a lawsuit that seeks to pause construction of the ballroom.

Although Trump did not exactly explain the purpose of the underground bunker, he hinted it was for security reasons. “The ballroom essentially becomes a shed for what’s being built under the military, including from drones, including from any other thing,” Trump said, adding that the windows will be “bulletproof.”
