Trump Supporter Arrested Outside Rally, Denies Assassination Plot
The recent arrest of Vem Miller, a 49-year-old man outside Donald Trump’s rally in Coachella Valley, California, has raised eyebrows and stirred media attention. Accused of potentially planning an assassination attempt on the former President, Miller adamantly denies these claims. According to his interview with Fox News Digital, Miller insists that the allegations against him are false and that he is, in fact, a staunch Trump supporter.
Miller, who was detained with a shotgun, handgun, and high-capacity magazines in his vehicle, claims he carries firearms for personal protection. He explained that he began traveling with guns after receiving death threats related to his work, but he has never fired a gun in his life. During his arrest, Miller voluntarily disclosed the presence of the firearms to authorities at a checkpoint near Trump’s rally, which he was attempting to attend. However, his possession of multiple passports, press passes, and various IDs raised suspicions among law enforcement, leading to his arrest on gun-related charges. He was later released on a $5,000 bail, with no federal charges filed as of yet.

In the aftermath of the arrest, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco speculated that Miller could have been plotting an assassination attempt, but emphasized that this was only speculation. Miller, however, has vehemently denied any such intent, describing himself as a long-time Trump supporter who has been “all-in” for the former president since 2018. He expressed admiration for Trump’s stance on free speech and his willingness to challenge the media.
Miller’s background adds further complexity to the situation. He has worked in the media industry for decades, including producing music videos and TV shows, and has publicly opposed censorship, leading him to launch the “America Happens” network. Despite being arrested with false IDs and press credentials, Miller insists that these documents were legitimate, citing his Armenian heritage and the need for varying identification documents for safety reasons in different parts of the world. He also distanced himself from any association with the so-called “sovereign citizen” movement, a label law enforcement hinted at, which Miller dismissed as nonsensical.
Despite the seriousness of the accusations, Trump’s campaign has stated that the incident did not compromise the safety of the event or Trump himself, and they continue to monitor the situation. The case remains under investigation, with Miller due to appear in court in January 2025.
This case has sparked debate and speculation, particularly in light of recent assassination attempts against Trump, but Miller remains firm in his stance that he is a supporter, not an adversary.
