Oct. 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. Secret Service found a hunting stand in a tree near Florida's Palm Beach International Airport with a direct line of sight to Air Force One, federal law enforcement officials said.
The FBI is leading the investigation into a tree stand found in an area where President Donald Trump's government plane was parked, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement to NBC News.
The Palm Beach airport is the closest major airport -- less than 5 miles -- to Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. He traveled there for the weekend.
"The U.S. Secret Service is working closely with the FBI and our law enforcement partners in Palm Beach County. During advance security preparations prior to the Palm Beach arrival, which included the use of technology and comprehensive physical sweeps, our teams identified items of interest near Palm Beach International Airport," the statement said.
