Vem Miller, the man arrested near former President Donald Trump’s rally Saturday in Coachella, California, denied in an online video Monday that he was trying to assassinate Trump.
Miller, 49, of Nevada, who was arrested on state weapons charges a quarter-mile from the rally, said he is a longtime supporter of Trump.
He said that he was invited to the rally by Republican officials in Nevada and that “false and defamatory statements have been released by the police in the region.”“I’m a Trump caucus captain.
I’ve collected votes for Donald Trump, and I’m also a Trump team leader,” Miller said in the video.
“The U.S. Secret Service assesses that the incident did not impact protective operations and former President Trump was not in any danger,” Martin Estrada, the U.S. attorney for Central California, said Sunday.
