Vem Miller, 49, told Fox News Digital that he was 100% a Trump supporter and claims against him are false

The man being accused of a potential third assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump spoke with Fox News Digital and says the claims against him are false in his first extended interview since his arrest.

Vem Miller, 49, said he reported the guns to authorities, which he says he always travels with despite never using them, at a checkpoint to get into Trump's Coachella rally on Saturday evening and denied that documents Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said were fake are legit.

His arrest on gun charges sparked speculation, following two assassination attempts on Trump since July. But he was quickly released on $5,000 bail and so far, no federal charges have been filed.

"I always travel around with my firearms in the back of my truck," Miller told Fox News Digital in a phone interview.
