The suspect who was arrested after authorities apprehended him on his way into the Coachella rally for former President Donald Trump is setting the record straight and working to clear his name.
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.
He says he has never fired them, but he started keeping them with him when he started getting death threats. 'I've literally never even shot a gun in my life,' Miller said. 'I don't know anything about guns. I am beyond a novice,' he continued. Miller said he has been a 30-year member of the media and started work after graduating from high school.
This is a man that I deeply admire, because I was a closet individual in terms of my beliefs, because I worked in Hollywood. As my politics started to change, I realized that Hollywood is a homogenous community,' Miller continued. Miller said he flirted with Sanders 'without realizing the implications of socialism' but now, and since 2018, he has 'Constitutional beliefs,' calling Trump a 'visual example of freedom of speech.
That's a nonsensical statement,' he says of the 'Sovereign Citizen' movement. Miller said he doesn't support it and is not a part of it. 'I don't think there's such a thing,' he says, adding that the two terms don't make any sense together. As for the sheriff's accusation that he is 'far-right,' Miller says, 'That's another nonsensical statement.
spokesperson for the Trump campaign issued a statement to Fox News Digital and said they were monitoring the situation. 'We thank law enforcement for securing the rally site and helping ensure the safety of President Trump. We are aware of news reports about the arrest and are currently monitoring the situation and gathering more information,' the statement read.
