The security level at former President Trump's Florida residence is the highest it can be, authorities said Monday.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said road closures near the golf course where his life was in danger Sunday were expected to be in place until sometime Tuesday.

“The security level at Mar-A-Lago is the highest it can possibly be,” he said during a news conference.

The FBI is investigating the matter as an assassination attempt on Trump, the second in as many months
