Police reported on Saturday that they arrested an armed man with a fake VIP and press pass at a checkpoint near Trump's campaign rally in Coachella Valley.
Donald Trump was reportedly the target of a third assassination attempt in 2024, according to Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who stated that an armed man with a fake VIP and press pass was detained at a checkpoint near Trump's campaign event in Coachella Valley.
Following the arrest on Friday, Bianco told local media that they "probably stopped another assassination attempt" after the suspect, Vem Miller, was found in possession of multiple firearms and high-capacity magazines.
However, during a press conference on Saturday, Bianco clarified that he did not have conclusive evidence to suggest Miller was an assassin. He stated that the only indicators of suspicious behavior were the seized weapons and false identification documents.
According to Fox News, Miller refuted the assassination allegations, claiming to be a Trump supporter. The incident is still under investigation, but the sheriff strongly believes it posed a serious threat against Trump.
If the police are correct, this would be the third assassination attempt targeting the former US President this year. In September, a suspect was arrested for attempting to assassinate Trump while he was at his golf course in Florida, and another incident occurred during a rally in Pennsylvania where gunfire was directed at Trump.
The recent arrest did not pose a direct threat to Trump's safety or the event attendees, according to the authorities. However, it has heightened concerns regarding security around Trump during his campaign activities.
