I don’t think there’s really any doubt it existed. News reports that mention it:

- [Trump in Palm Beach: Mar-a-Lago’s SCIF, JFK’s bunker and keeping national security secure](https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/politics/2019/11/05/trump-in-palm-beach-mar-a-lagos-scif-jfks-bunker-and-keeping-national-security-secure/2359130007/)
- [https://www.newschannel5.com/news/national/recent-trespassing-incidents-raise-questions-about-security-at-mar-a-lago](https://www.newschannel5.com/news/national/recent-trespassing-incidents-raise-questions-about-security-at-mar-a-lago)
- [Mar-a-Lago Florida: Everything we know about Trump’s new home | The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/trump-mar-a-lago-history-palm-beach-florida-b1780645.html)

How assiduously it was used is another matter, of course.
