Donald Trump seems to have faced yet another threat to his life when a man presenting fake VIP credentials was taken into custody after a shotgun, high capacity magazine and loaded handgun was found in his vehicle at a rally over the weekend.
Local law enforcement claims the incident is 'probably' a third assassination attempt.
But a source close to the Trump campaign says the Riverside County Sheriff is mistaken.
'There was no assassination attempt in CA yesterday,' the source told DailyMail.com. 'A man at a perimeter checkpoint had a gun but there was no incident.'
Vem Miller, 49, was taken into custody after he was stopped at a checkpoint near the former president's rally in Coachella, California on Saturday. 'This incident did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event,' the Riverside County Sheriff's Office insisted in a statement on the incident.
But Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco told Southern California News Group: 'We probably stopped another assassination attempt.'
Bianco, a known Trump supporter, told the outlet that Miller presented fake VIP and press passes at the checkpoint, which is what led to the search.
Miller was found to be in illegal possession of the firearms and ammo when his black SUV was checked on Saturday.
He was booked at John Benoit Detention Center, made his $10,000 bail – $5,000 for each of two misdemeanors for which he was charged – and as of Sunday was no longer in custody.
Miller has his next court appearance set for January 2.

The first one proved he has the protection of God at least for now. May that protection continue and continued prayers for him.
Anyone want to bet he never shows up for bail hearing?
Is this the guy who said he wanted to “kill the president”?????
If so, he should never have been released under bond....

VEM? What kindof name is that?
Amen 🙏🏻!
This one smells. He had a pistol and a shotgun, ran as a Republican in 2020 and has a podcast with a recent episode that discusses how the Dems are going to try to steal the 2024 election...
He also drove through the security checkpoint and didn’t expect to be searched?
He also thinks he’s a sovereign citizen which probably explains the fake creds.
My guess is he had no intention of assassinating Trump and is just a loon or he’s CIA and wanted to stir up trouble.
” shotgun, high capacity magazine and loaded handgun”
I wonder what the heck he was planning?
Strange loadout.
The laws are numerous, arcane and vague, and hotly disputed in the courts.
Why was he let go? Why was he allowed bail?
Crazy.
“”But a source close to Trump campaign downplayed the threat and told DailyMaill.com that the gunman was apprehended before posing any danger.””
AND it doesn’t dawn on anyone that the same situation was true for the arrest of the guy in FL???
A source in the Trump campaign says - no problem??? The culprit just happened to be close by with a fake VIP and press pass, weapon and ammo?
Riverside County Sheriff’s office can’t get their statements synchronized?
A misspelling of Vern?
This was no more an assassination attempt than it would be a hijacking attempt if some clown showed up at the TSA checkpoint with a gun of some kind.
What’s the motivation for someone CLOSE to the campaign playing down an attempt? How does it help Trump? Afraid of crowd panicking? Really believe it’s a trivial event?
Never mind. Different sources agree that it’s Vem.
Colin Rugg may have video from the RNC Convention of him here https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1845551171374575621
“Is this the guy who said he wanted to “kill the president”?????”
The nutcase from Arizona?
I don’t think they found him yet.
Do y’all remember the bounty letter they released from the golf shooter? Has anybody been fired or reprimanded over its release of it to the public? And if not why not? Where the hell is our Congress? Those freaking POS are always MIA when it comes to Trump! The FBI , CIA and the DOJ purposely released the letter to encourage other shooters to take out Trump. Now I am truly believing the saying a rat is more dangerous when cornered . The DC swamp is out to get Trump one way or the other before November 5th and hell or high water they are going to do everything in their power to snuff him out. They will continue until they are successful. Don’t kid yourselves they want him DEAD! It is becoming crystal clear they are the power behind the assassination attempts on his life. I’m even going to go one step further the Pentagon WOKE generals are behind this as well! They want him gone…permanently. They want the movement DEAD!
Have to wonder!!!!
