Vem Miller’s arrest following a Trump rally has ignited a legal confrontation over defamation claims involving Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco. Sheriff Bianco states Miller intended to harm Trump and officials stopped a possible third assassination attempt. Miller denies these claims and says the authorities are lying. He also said he is a journalist who is a Donald Trump supporter. Miller plans to sue Riverside County Sheriff for defamation.
The Arrest and Its Implications
Authorities arrested Vem Miller, known as an ardent Trump supporter, outside a rally in Coachella Valley. He was charged with possession of firearms and found with multiple IDs. The situation quickly escalated as Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco suggested Miller may have intended harm against President Trump. However, Miller has consistently denied these claims, positioning himself as a staunch advocate of Trump and his policies.
Following the arrest, Miller contends that being accused falsely impacts his professional and personal life. He argues the weapons were legally obtained for protection, especially given today’s heightened political tension. As a Trump donor and supporter, he insisted his presence at the rally was by invitation, aligning with a pattern of attending political events.

The Sheriff’s Stance and Controversy
Sheriff Chad Bianco maintains a firm stance, asserting that Miller intended to harm. His comments have drawn significant attention, prompting Miller to consider legal action for alleged defamation. Miller’s legal battle is heating up as he seeks to clear his name and refute claims of ill intent towards Trump. Bianco had previously noted past assassination attempts, fueling his concern for safety at the rally.
“I’m choosing to do it this way because, frankly, I’ve gotten a hundred calls in the hour and a half since these false and defamatory statements have been released by the police authorities in this region,” Vem Miller, 49, said in a video.
The sheriff’s assertion has been challenged by figures like Mindy Robinson, a conservative activist, who criticized the authorities for acting “hysterically.” She emphasized that Miller’s quick release on bail indicates he poses no real threat. Additionally, the Secret Service backed claims that Trump’s safety was never compromised during the incident.

Ongoing Legal Proceedings
As he awaits legal proceedings, Miller has declared intentions to sue the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. His upcoming court appearance in January 2025 is highly anticipated. This lawsuit could potentially set a precedent in defamation charges levied on law enforcement. The outcome might impact the narrative of political activism and legal consequences in future political rallies.
“Trump has been one of my top few inspirations and he’s one of the few people if he were to really be shot by somebody, I’d be the first person to jump in front of that bullet because I feel as though the work that is doing is very important for the future of this country,” Miller told NBC4.
As this legal saga unfolds, it underscores the tension between political expression and perceived security threats. For Miller, defending one’s character and beliefs appears as a priority, while the law seeks to weigh individual rights against public safety concerns.
