The location where alleged would-be assassin Ryan Routh spent up to 12 hours is regularly made use of by photographers and paparazzi – raising fresh questions for Donald Trump’s security detail.
Reports said the spot on the edge of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, where Mr Routh was spotted, was well known.
“There have been previous individuals who have taken pictures of the former president while he’s golfing,” Dave Aronberg, the state attorney for the 15th Judicial Circuit, which covers Palm Beach County, told Fox News.
“They’ve gone through the shrubs and been able to poke a camera through the fencing.”
Meanwhile, The New York Post said a number of paparazzi, some of them employed by the paper, often took up positions around the course in order to get a picture of Mr Trump playing golf or else being driven in a golf cart.
Typically, they make themselves known to US Secret Service agents on duty to ensure they are not mistaken for a security threat.
