Federal agents are investigating after the Secret Service found an elevated hunting stand within sight of the Air Force One landing zone in West Palm Beach, ahead of President Trump’s Friday trip. No one was seen near the tree-mounted stand, officials said. The FBI has taken the investigatory lead, flying in resources and using cell phone analytics, while the Secret Service coordinates with local police. Trump later boarded Air Force One via its small stairs, which officials called “increased security measures.” The discovery comes after separate 2024 attempts on Trump’s life and other recent political violence.
