The FBI is investigating a suspicious hunting stand discovered near the Air Force One landing zone at Palm Beach airport ahead of President Trump’s arrival.
The FBI has launched an investigation after the U.S. Secret Service discovered a suspicious elevated hunting stand overlooking the area where President Donald Trump exits Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport.
Agents found the stand on Thursday during “advance security preparations” before Trump’s return to Florida. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that “no individuals were located at the scene,” adding that investigators had deployed “cell phone analytics capabilities” and flown in forensic teams to gather evidence.
Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said the agency is “working closely” with the FBI and Palm Beach law enforcement, stressing that “there was no impact to any movements.” He added that the incident “underscores the importance of our layered security measures.”
A law enforcement source told Fox News Digital the stand may have been there “for months.” The probe follows two earlier attempts on Trump’s life, including one on a Palm Beach golf course by Ryan Routh and another at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
