Biden Bunker Revelation

Joe Biden apparently discussed the secret bunker during a Gridiron Club dinner. Reports suggest the vice president described an emergency hiding spot beneath the official vice presidential home, the former U.S. Naval Observatory. The location is believed to be where Dick Cheney was taken in the days following the 9/11 attacks.

A story by Newsweek editor Eleanor Clift states that Biden said he was recently given a tour of the facility. It is “behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment,” she writes.

“The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn’t be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall,” Clift says.
