As protesters gathered outside the White House Friday night in Washington, DC, President Donald Trump was briefly taken to the underground bunker for a period of time, CNN quoted a White House official and a law enforcement source as saying.
The President was there for a little under an hour before being brought upstairs.
First lady Melania Trump and their son, Barron, were also taken to the bunker, according to news reports.
The law enforcement source familiar with protocol said that if authorities moved Trump, they would move all protectees, meaning Melania and Barron.
If the condition at the White House is elevated to RED and the President is moved to the Emergency Operations Center. Melania Trump, Barron Trump and any other first family members would be moved as well."
Late Sunday night, the White House cautioned staffers who must go to work on Monday to hide their passes until they reach a Secret Service entry point and to hide them as they leave, according to an email.
The email repeated mandates for maximum telework status and said there is still an "elevated security posture" due to the protests.
Trump praised the Secret Service the next day for its handling of the protests outside the White House Friday night in the wake of George Floyd's death last week in Minneapolis.
