A British man who was arrested at a Donald Trump rally has told investigators he wanted to kill the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
Michael Steven Sandford was arrested on Saturday in Las Vegas after he allegedly tried to wrestle a gun from a police officer at the event.
The 20-year-old was handed over to the US Secret Service, according to Las Vegas police.
He then told a Secret Service agent that he had driven to the city from California planning to shoot Trump, according to court papers filed on Monday.
Sandford, who is reported to have a British driver's license and claims to have been in the US for around 18 months, has been charged with committing an act of violence on restricted ground, said US Attorney's Office spokesman Natalie Collins.
He appeared before Federal Magistrate Judge George Foley, who refused him bail.
