Man arrested outside Trump Coachella rally denies assassination intent; he's 'all in' supporting Trump

The man being accused of a potential third assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump spoke with Fox News Digital and says the claims against him are false in his first extended interview since his arrest.

Vem Miller, 49, said he reported the guns to authorities, which he says he always travels with despite never using them, at a checkpoint to get into Trump's Coachella rally on Saturday evening and argued that documents Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said were fake are legit.

His arrest on gun charges sparked speculation, following two assassination attempts on Trump since July. But he was quickly released on $5,000 bail and so far, no federal charges have been filed."I always travel around with my firearms in the back of my truck," Miller told Fox News Digital in a phone interview.

He says he has never fired them, but he started keeping them with him when he started getting death threats.

"I've literally never even shot a gun in my life," Miller said.

"I don't know anything about guns. I am beyond a novice," he continued.

Miller said he has been a 30-year member of the media and started work after graduating from high school. He has also worked on music videos and TV shows with major artists, and launched America Happens Network to combat "censorship" in the media. It was while doing this work that Miller told Fox he began receiving death threats, and purchased his firearms.

Miller said he was a Democrat growing up, and thought Barack Obama was going to "save us from needless wars and censorship."
