The FBI is currently investigating the hunting stand. A Secret Service spokesman confirmed no individuals were found near the stand during security checks conducted before Trump’s arrival. Trump left palm Beach later than expected and did not take questions from reporters, which is unusual. A White House official attributed the change in boarding procedure to “increased security measures” at the airport.


Trump boards Air Force One using small stairs after hunting stand found at airport

President Donald Trump was seen using the small stairs to board Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport, a change that comes after Secret Service agents found a hunting stand in a tree near the Florida airport last week.

Photos released on Sunday night show Trump using the shorter, retractable stairs at the belly of the plane, as he heads back to Washington, D.C., following a weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort. He did not take questions from reporters before departing, as he typically does, and his schedule indicates he left Palm Beach slightly later than expected.

A White House official told Fox News that this change was due to “increased security measures” at the airport.

A Secret Service spokesman told the Washington Examiner that no individuals were found near the hunting stand, which was found during “advance security preparations” before Trump’s arrival at Palm Beach on Friday evening.
