No Credible Threat Found in Trump Rally Arrest

Vem Miller, a 49-year-old Trump supporter, was arrested near a Trump rally in Coachella, California, with firearms and fake IDs, sparking claims of a foiled assassination attempt against the former president. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco initially suggested that deputies had thwarted a third assassination attempt on Trump, although this claim has been met with skepticism and debunked by the US Attorney's Office, which stated there was no credible threat. Miller, who identifies with right-leaning groups, claimed he was carrying weapons for self-defense and was invited to the rally. He was released on a $5,000 bail, and no federal charges have been filed against him. The incident highlights the heightened security concerns surrounding political figures like Trump, with calls for increased vigilance at public events. Despite the arrest, authorities maintain that Trump's safety was never compromised during the rally.
