The FBI is investigating a “suspicious stand” found by the Secret Service within view of where President Donald Trump exits Air Force One at the Palm Beach International Airport, Director Kash Patel said in a post on X.

The Secret Service said it’s working with the FBI and local law enforcement to investigate items found during advance security preparations for Trump’s weekend trip to Florida. No individuals were present at the time, the agency said in a statement without providing additional details.

Fox News reported earlier on what it called a “hunting stand,” saying it was uncovered on Thursday.
