Trump targeted in THIRD ‘assassination attempt’ as gunman arrested outside Coachella rally

Donald Trump faced yet another threat to his life when a man presenting fake VIP credentials was taken into custody after a shotgun, high capacity magazine and loaded handgun was found in his vehicle.

Local law enforcement is considering the incident ‘probably’ a third assassination attempt against the former president. 

Vem Miller, 49, was taken into custody after he was stopped at a checkpoint near the former president’s rally in Coachella, California on Saturday.

‘This incident did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event,’ the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office insisted in a statement on the incident.

But Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said it was ‘probably’ a third attempt on Trump’s life, according to the Southern California News Group. 

Bianco, a known Trump supporter, told the outlet that Miller presented fake VIP and press passes at the checkpoint, which is what led to the search. 

Miller, a Las Vegas resident and registered Republican, was found to be in illegal possession of the firearms and ammo when his black SUV was checked on Saturday.

Miller made his $10,000 bail and was released from custody. He has a court date set for January 2.
