In a recent development, U.S. law enforcement officials have arrested 49-year-old Vem Miller, on suspicion of plotting to assassinate former U.S. President Donald Trump.

According to Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, Miller, who allegedly posed as a journalist, was apprehended while attempting to enter the gates of the Coachella Valley venue in California, where Trump was holding a campaign rally.

Upon searching Miller’s vehicle, police discovered two firearms, a significant amount of ammunition, and falsified identification documents bearing various names. This arrest marks the third time someone has been detained in connection with threats or plots against Trump.

Donald Trump, a member of the Republican Party, is one of the prominent candidates running in the upcoming U.S. presidential election scheduled for November this year.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the motives and potential accomplices involved in the case.
