Vem Miller, a man arrested near former President Donald Trump’s rally in Coachella, California, denied attempting to assassinate Trump in an online video. Miller, a Trump supporter, claimed he was invited to the rally by Nevada Republican officials and criticized the police for releasing false statements about him. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco stated that deputies prevented a potential assassination and found Miller with weapons and ammunition. Federal law enforcement officials are investigating the incident but have not filed charges. Miller, who had firearms in his car, said he carries them for self-defense. Bianco dismissed Miller’s claims and praised his deputies for the arrest. Miller accused law enforcement of slandering his name as a potential assassin, claiming their statements are lies. The incident did not impact Trump’s safety, according to the U.S. Secret Service, and there is no indication of an assassination attempt. Miller’s claims of being a Trump caucus captain and team leader were not verified by NBC News. The investigation continues as Miller maintains his innocence and accuses law enforcement of spreading false information about him.
