Trump Supporter Sues Sheriff Over Assassination Claims After Rally Arrest
Vem Miller, arrested with firearms outside a Trump rally, alleges defamation and illegal search by Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.
- Miller was arrested near a Trump rally in California for possessing firearms and fake passports, but denies any intent to harm.
- He claims the weapons were for personal protection due to death threats and that he had no intention of bringing them into the rally.
- Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco suggested Miller's arrest thwarted a potential assassination attempt, a claim Miller disputes.

- The sheriff's department maintains that their actions were appropriate and are prepared to cooperate with the legal process.
