FBI Investigates Elevated Hunting Stand Near Trump Air Force One Landing Zone

Federal authorities, including the FBI and U.S. Secret Service, are investigating an elevated hunting stand discovered near Palm Beach International Airport within the line of sight of the Air Force One landing zone ahead of President Donald Trump's arrival. The stand was found during routine security sweeps, and no individuals were present at the site when it was found. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the agency has taken the investigatory lead, though no person of interest has been identified yet. This discovery occurred shortly after two assassination attempts on President Trump in 2024, heightening concerns about the security threat. The Secret Service assured that the president's movements were not impacted, and the stand might have been erected months ago. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities seek to determine the origin and intent behind the hunting stand's placement.
