Trump's SECRET Escape Bunker FINALLY Revealed in NEW FILING - Legal AF



A DC Federal judge held a hearing yesterday and seems to be poised to issue a stop work order on Trump's Golden Ballroom.

But the real news is the revelation in the proceedings that Trump is building a "bunker" below the Ballroom for "national security purposes" and is using funds he may have money laundered from the Park Service to his personal White House bank account.

Michael Popok reports on Judge Leon looking to about pull the trigger to force Trump to go to Congress to get approval for any more work. - 01/23/2026.

Is he making room for his whole family plus Elon Musk and all of his big donors? Is Ghislaine going to have a space down there? The pedo survival bunker?

If you can get past the bombastic headline ...

This is actually a worthwhile podcast by Michael Popok.

He's explaining that Chump plans to build an underground luxury "bunker" and it's hidden below the East Wing Epstein Memorial Ballroom. The money to build this bunker has been secretly shuffled from the Parks Dept. (where it is subject to oversight from Congress) to a presidential fund where there is no oversight whatsoever. The judge is reviewing this process now and is inclined to shut the East Wing project down or at least delay it temporarily while this oversight is straightened out. Good presentation by Mr. Popok ... recommended!

My thought: Why is Chump doing this? He's only going to be in the White House for less than 3 years, and the clock is ticking. The longer this project gets delayed, the less time he'll have to actually enjoy this new marvel of the western world. Meanwhile the country is literally falling apart and Americans are being abducted and injured or killed by ICE-thugs on a daily basis. Plus our NATO allies are about to kick us out of the only worthwhile defensive alliance that we've ever been a part of. This playing with Lincoln Logs really has to stop.
