The latest security concern follows a separate incident months earlier, when the U.S. Secret Service discovered a suspicious hunting stand positioned with a direct line of sight to where Trump exits Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport.
That find was made in October, when agents located the elevated stand but did not find anyone in the surrounding area.
