Witnesses from the FBI and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office on Friday offered details on the law enforcement response and evidence collection during the trial of a man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump while he played golf in South Florida last year.
One FBI agent presented a 3D computer model of the golf course that showed the so-called sniper’s nest was about 125 feet (38 meters) from the 6th hole. Another agent described the collection of evidence, which included an SKS semi-automatic rifle with a round chambered, extra ammunition, metal ballistic plates and cans of Vienna sausages. A Palm Beach deputy testified that the area was swept for explosives, but none were found.
