A bunker was originally constructed under the East Wing during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack and more recently the Presidential Emergency Operations Center was used during the 9/11 attacks.According to a White House official and a law enforcement source, Trump was briefly taken to the underground bunker as protesters gathered outside the White House in the wake of George Floyd's death that sparked a series of demonstrations across the country.
After 9/11, I suspect, with an attack that came from within the United States, there was no longer a sense there would be enough time to get the president out of the building."The terrorist attacks on September 11 are the most notable and recorded instance of the White House bunker being used for cover for the West Wing. According to Lt. Col. Robert J. Darling, after the West Wing learned about a hijacked plane en route to Washington, DC, they were rushed into the bunker.
