Trump Rally Arrest Sparks Defamation Lawsuit Against California Sheriff

Vem Miller, a Trump supporter arrested on weapons charges, claims Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco falsely labeled him a potential assassin.

Vem Miller was arrested outside a Trump rally in California with firearms, leading to accusations of a potential assassination attempt by Sheriff Chad Bianco.
Miller has filed a defamation lawsuit against Bianco, arguing that the sheriff fabricated claims to portray himself as a hero.
Federal authorities, including the Secret Service, stated that Trump was never in danger, contradicting Bianco's assertions.
Miller insists he was invited to the rally by the Nevada GOP and possessed firearms for personal protection due to previous threats.
The lawsuit alleges violations of Miller's constitutional rights and seeks damages for defamation and emotional distress.
