Miller has denied that he was there to attack Trump at the rally.
The 49-year-old, who is a supporter of the former president, told Southern California News Group he was “shocked” to learn that the arrest was part of an assassination plot.
“These accusations are complete bull****,” Miller said, adding, “I’m an artist, I’m the last person that would cause any violence and harm to anybody.”
Previous assassination attempts
Security is very tight at Trump rallies following two recent assassination attempts.
Ryan Wesley Routh was charged in September with attempting to assassinate Trump after he was found with a high-powered rifle outside Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach.
Routh entered a not-guilty plea.
Trump narrowly escaped death when he was shot in the ear by Matthew Crooks on July 13 at a rally near Butler, Pennsylvania.
Two attendees suffered serious injuries, and one participant, Corey Comperatore, died.
Crooks was killed by Secret Service countersniper operatives.
