The FBI is conducting an investigation into a hunting stand discovered near President Donald Trump’s Air Force One exit area at Palm Beach International Airport. Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed the agency is using all forensic tools to determine who placed the stand and why. The FBI Director, Kash Patel, ordered an immediate response once informed of the situation.
The Secret Service expressed concern over the discovery, with the stand being dismantled and sent to a laboratory for analysis. Agents found the stand last Thursday, prior to Trump’s return to West Palm Beach, and no individuals were located at the scene. The investigation comes amid heightened security measures due to recent incidents of political violence, including the July 2024 assassination attempt against Trump and the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.
