The FBI launched an investigation after the Secret Service discovered a hunting stand with a direct line to where President Trump exits Air Force One in Palm Beach, according to Fox News.

The hunting stand was reportedly set up months ago.

“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,” FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News.

“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,” Kash Patel said.
