The U.S. Secret Service confirmed on October 19th, local time, that they had found a "suspicious hunting rack" near Palm Beach International Airport in Florida, and its sight could reach the position where U.S. President Trump walked out of Air Force One. At present, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has taken the lead in the investigation.

The incident happened on October 16. A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service said in a statement that the Secret Service team was making "pre-security preparations" for Trump to fly to Palm Beach on 17th, and found these "suspicious items" during a comprehensive investigation.

Trump, who arrived in Florida on the 17th, planned a weekend at West Palm Beach, where he frequently played golf at the Sea Lake estate.

On October 17, Rump arrived at Florida¡¯s Palm Beach International Airport.

In addition, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that the Secret Service was working closely with the FBI and law enforcement officers in Palm Beach County, and confirmed that the investigation was led by the FBI. He stressed to the media: "No action (of the president) has been affected, and no individual has been found or involved at the scene."

Meanwhile, Guglielmi said, "While we cannot provide details about specific items or their intent, this incident highlights the importance of layering security measures."

Hunting racks may have existed for several months

Trump changes the ladder.

According to reports, Trump suffered two assassination attempts last year alone.

In July last year, at a campaign rally in the city of Butler, Pennsylvania, a 20-year-old man fired at Trump from the roof and was killed by a Secret Service agent.

The other one happened in Florida. A 59-year-old man hid in the bushes at a West Palm Beach golf course last September. Prosecutors said he "conspired" to kill then-presidential candidate Trump. The report mentioned that the man had just been convicted last month and that he also "set up a sniper point" in the bushes next to the fence.

U.S. law enforcement sources have revealed that the fence ¡°seems to have been built a few months ago,¡± suggesting that it may not have been specifically designed recently to wait for Trump to arrive.

However, another senior U.S. official familiar with the investigation said the lookout was located across the street from an area of the airport where private jets, including Trump's own, were often parked.

The official said Air Force One is not usually stationed in the area, but ¡°due to recent construction¡± (this time) will be stationed there, and has also been used in the area in the past.

Security measures around Trump were apparently upgraded immediately.A White House official revealed that because of ¡°strengthening security measures,¡± Trump was ¡°through a small ladder¡± when he boarded Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport on October 19.

Currently, the FBI investigation is ongoing. Reported that U.S. federal resources are actively collecting evidence and analyzing cellular phone data to identify potential people involved.
