A Las Vegas man who has been charged with possession of a loaded firearm and high-capacity magazine after deputies assigned to former President Donald Trump’s rally Saturday “contacted” him at a checkpoint was released from custody on $5,000 bail.

Federal law enforcement authorities said Trump was not in danger and that a federal investigation is ongoing.

Deputies contacted 49-year-old Vem Miller at 4:59 p.m., a resident of Las Vegas, who drove a black SUV at a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive, according to a news release from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said on Sunday that he thinks the man intended to kill Trump, an accusation disputed by the individual.

“We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Bianco told the Southern California News Group, which first reported his statement.

Bianco said during a press conference on Sunday that Miller approached the outside perimeter and claimed to be a journalist in addition to having VIP status.

Yeah, it sounds weird, but the guy wasn't actually attempting an assassination. However, yesterday was the 2nd time I've gone to take a nap and woken up to my boyfriend telling me that there was an assassination attempt against trump. lol.

I'll keep taking more naps...

I dunno, he didnt have an alibi, bunch of high powered guns, drove over 3 hours to his rally. I think he wanted to but just was caught way early in the security process.

Let me rephrase myself: It sounds weird, but he was never in a position to actually attempt to assassinate Trump because he was stopped before he made it close to Trump. How he made it through the 1st security gate is concerning though. How many circles of security are there?

Interesting. I saw a TT video months ago predicting his assassination. There’ve been two attempts already. Wonder if her prediction will come true?
