The FBI is investigating another potential oversight in President Trump’s security.
FBI Director Kash Patel has shared that Secret Service uncovered a suspicious hunting stand nested in tree with direct line of sight to Trump’s Air Force One when he lands in Palm Beach.
‘Prior to the President’s return to West Palm Beach, USSS discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone,’ Patel told Fox News Digital.
‘No individuals were located at the scene. The FBI has since taken the investigatory lead, flying in resources to collect all evidence from the scene, and deploying our cell phone analytics capabilities.’
The stand has not been tied to any individual.
USSS chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi also told Fox that they are ‘ ‘working closely’ with the FBI as well as law enforcement in Palm Beach County.’
Guglielmi also noted that ‘there was no impact to any movements and no individuals were present or involved at the location.’
‘While we are not able to provide details about the specific items or their intent, this incident underscores the importance of our layered security measures,’ Guglielmi also stated.
