Third Assassination Attempt on Trump Thwarted: Armed Suspect Arrested Near California Rall
In a third alleged assassination attempt on former U.S. President and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, a man with loaded firearms was arrested near his rally in Coachella, California, on Saturday night. The suspect, identified as 49-year-old Vem Miller from Las Vegas, was found in possession of multiple loaded firearms, several passports, and a fake license plate, according to a statement from the local sheriff.
Miller was reportedly apprehended just hours before Trump’s rally, which saw large crowds of supporters gathering. According to an AP report, Miller claimed to be a journalist, though it remains unclear whether he possessed legitimate press credentials. The suspect was released later the same day on $5,000 bail.
This marks the third such incident in the past three months involving Trump, who has been the target of other high-profile threats during his 2024 presidential campaign. Local authorities are continuing their investigation into the case.
