FBI Probes Hunting Stand Overlooking Air Force One Landing Zone

 

 

The FBI is investigating a mysterious hunting stand found with a clear of sight line to Air Force One’s landing zone ahead of President Donald Trump’s arrival in Palm Beach on Friday. 

 

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed to NewsNation that the Secret Service discovered an elevated hunting stand overlooking the Palm Beach International Airport runway before Trump’s aircraft landed. “No individuals were located at the scene,” Patel said, adding that the FBI “has since taken the investigatory lead, flying in resources to collect all evidence and deploying cellphone analytics capabilities.”

 

Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said the agency was working closely with the FBI and local law enforcement. “During advance security preparations prior to the Palm Beach arrival, our teams identified items of interest near Palm Beach International Airport,” Guglielmi said. “There was no impact to any movements, and no individuals were present or involved at the location.”

 

A photo released by the Secret Service shows the stand tethered to a tree with green ropes. Trump departed Joint Base Andrews in Maryland around 4:45 p.m. Friday and landed in Palm Beach at 6:25 p.m., later spending the weekend at Mar-a-Lago before returning to Washington, D.C.

 

The discovery follows a recent uptick in security incidents involving the president’s aircraft and movements. Last month, a man was charged with shining a laser at Marine One while Trump was aboard. Days later, a Florida jury convicted Ryan Routh, 59, of plotting to assassinate the president at Trump International Golf Club last September — a crime that could send him to prison for life.

 

Key Takeaways:

• FBI probing elevated hunting stand found overlooking Air Force One’s landing area.

• No suspects were present; FBI using advanced analytics to trace evidence.

• Follows recent security scares, including a laser attack and an assassination plot conviction.
