Secret Service sweep uncovers an elevated stand with a clear sightline to the spot where President Trump exits Air Force One. No suspect at the scene. FBI takes the lead. Boarding procedures quietly adjusted.
What we know so far
Officials say the structure appeared to have been in place for some time. Whether it was intended for wildlife control or something more sinister is now part of the federal review. The discovery did not disrupt movements, but it did tighten them.
What’s next
Forensics and canvassing of nearby properties/approach paths.
Review of construction/parking shifts that changed AF1 positioning.
Additional “outside the fence” checks and alternate ingress/egress mapping.
