A chilling security breach near Palm Beach International Airport has triggered a full-scale federal investigation — just days before President Donald Trump’s arrival.
Federal law enforcement officials are scrambling after the discovery of a hunting stand positioned within line-of-sight of President Trump’s Air Force One exit zone in Florida — a chilling find that has raised serious concerns inside the Secret Service and FBI.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, a former NYPD officer and veteran Secret Service agent, confirmed the discovery during a live appearance on Fox & Friends Monday morning.
“This is a zero-fail mission,” Bongino said. “There’s no room for mistakes when you’re protecting the President of the United States. None. I’ve done this job. You don’t get a second chance.”
According to Bongino, the hunting stand was located during a routine sweep last Thursday on property adjacent to Palm Beach International Airport, not far from the designated path where President Trump typically deplanes.
“We had our plane flown down there, dismantled the stand, and it’s already at our lab,” Bongino confirmed. “We’re using every forensic tool we’ve got — digital, biometric, everything — to find out who put it there and what they intended.”
The site was abandoned when agents arrived, but the presence of a tactical hunting platform with a direct sight line to a sitting president’s landing zone is now being treated as a serious threat.
FBI Director Kash Patel, appointed by President Trump earlier this year to clean up the Bureau, reportedly ordered an “immediate response” to the scene, directing both tactical and forensic units to investigate.
“I can’t speak to intent yet,” a source close to the investigation told us, “but after what happened to Charlie [Kirk], we don’t take chances anymore.”
The discovery comes amid a surge in politically motivated violence targeting conservative leaders. In July 2024, President Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pittsburgh. And just last month, Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk was killed by a sniper during a speaking event in Arizona — a devastating loss for the conservative movement.
“We’re living in a time when patriotism is under attack,” said Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones. “This hunting stand isn’t just suspicious — it’s a symbol of a much deeper problem.”
In response to the threat, the Secret Service has tightened perimeter protocols and made noticeable changes to the President’s boarding and deplaning procedures.
Over the weekend, reporters noted that President Trump used smaller rear stairs to board Air Force One, avoiding the main staircase typically visible to the press.
“This was part of enhanced security,” a White House official said, speaking on background. “We don’t advertise our precautions — but we never let our guard down.”
The FBI has yet to name a suspect, but sources tell us the agency is looking into local surveillance footage, fingerprints, DNA samples, and even thermal imaging to determine how long the stand had been in place and whether any test runs had been conducted.
The dismantled structure is now at a forensic lab believed to be the FBI’s facility in Quantico, Virginia.
“We won’t rest until we know who built it — and why,” Bongino said. “You don’t just stumble across Air Force One with a hunting blind. This wasn’t a coincidence.”
Bongino closed the segment with a message for all would-be threats.
“To anyone thinking they can get close to this president — we will find you. You’re not going to get the drop on us. Not on my watch.”
With President Trump expected to return to Florida in the coming days, heightened security remains in full effect, and the investigation is ongoing.
