The U.S. Secret Service on Thursday discovered a suspicious hunting stand near Palm Beach International Airport that provided a direct sight line to where President Donald Trump exits Air Force One, according to several news outlets.
The FBI is now leading an investigation into the discovery, Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesperson for the Secret Service, said in a statement.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the hunting stand has not yet been connected to any individual.
He told Fox News, which first reported the discovery, “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.”
Guglielmi said agents found the stand during their “advance security preparations” ahead of Trump’s arrival in Pa
