Trump Called His White House Military Complex 'Supposed to Be Secret' After His Own Lawyers Revealed It in Court

Donald Trump has confirmed that the military is constructing a major underground complex beneath his contested White House ballroom — including a hospital, bomb shelters, and top-secret military installations — details he said were never meant to be made public. The disclosure did not come from a whistleblower or a political opponent. It came from his own lawyers.

During a Cabinet meeting, Trump said: 'Now it's no secret, the military wanted it more than anybody. It was supposed to be secret, but it became unsecret because of people that are really unpatriotic saying things.' What Trump did not address was that the people who put the project into the public record were the lawyers representing his own administration in federal court.
