A armed manwho was arrested in a “third assassination attempt” against former President Donald Trump, called the allegations “nonsense” and claimed he was a Trump supporter.
Vem MillerThe 49-year-old American reportedly claimed he was a Trump supporter, a day after he was handcuffed near the US president on Saturday afternoon Coachella Valley rally at a checkpoint – where sheriff's deputies found a pair of guns and ammunition in his car. However, he was quickly released on $5,000 bail and no federal charges have been filed so far.
In a telephone interview with Fox Digital News, Miller explained that he began storing firearms in his truck after receiving death threats while working on his media company, America Happens Network, which aims to eliminate “censorship” in the media to fight. Although he owned firearms, Miller admitted that he was a novice with firearms and had never fired one in his life.
Miller said he grew up a Democrat and thought Barack Obama would “save us from unnecessary wars and censorship.”
“I’ve definitely become more Republican now,” he said, describing himself and his business partner as more libertarian.
“Yes, I am 100% a Trump supporter,” Miller said, adding that he was “all on Trump’s side” in 2018.
“This is a man I deeply admire because I was a closed individual in terms of my beliefs because I worked in Hollywood. When my politics started to change, I realized that Hollywood is a homogeneous community,” Miller told Fox Digital News.
“These allegations are complete nonsense… I'm an artist, I'm the last person who would inflict violence and harm on anyone,” Miller told the Southern California News Group.
When questioned about the alleged fake IDs and passports found in his possession, Miller insisted that none of them were fake. He told Fox Digital News that he carries documents with his full Armenian name and abbreviated versions because the use of certain documents in some parts of the world could endanger his life due to historic campaigns against Armenians.
Miller also addressed Sheriff Bianco's suggestion that he was part of the “sovereign citizen” movement, dismissing it as a “nonsensical statement.” He denied any involvement with right-wing anti-government groups, called on the sheriff to name specific groups and claimed that such accusations were unfounded.
Sources close to the Trump campaign have expressed doubt that the incident was an incident assassination attempt about the former president. The campaign released a statement thanking law enforcement for securing the rally site and ensuring Trump's safety while monitoring the situation and gathering more information. The Riverside County Sheriff's Office has also stated that the incident had no impact on the safety of Trump or event attendees.
