FBI Investigates Hunting Stand With Sightline to Air Force One in Florida

The FBI is investigating a suspicious elevated hunting stand found near Palm Beach International Airport, positioned with a direct line of sight to the Air Force One landing zone where President Donald Trump disembarks. The stand was discovered by the U.S. Secret Service during advance security sweeps before Trump's arrival at the airport for an event at his Mar-a-Lago estate. No individuals were present at the site when the stand was found, and the FBI is collecting evidence and analyzing cell phone data to determine its origin and potential intent. The discovery highlights the ongoing security concerns for President Trump, who has faced previous assassination attempts, including a shooting in July 2024 and a convicted plot at his golf course in West Palm Beach. Secret Service officials emphasized the importance of layered security measures and noted there was no impact on the President's movements. The investigation remains active, with the FBI leading efforts alongside the Secret Service and local law enforcement.
