What major claims did Candace Owens make after September 10, 2025?
Executive summary
Since September 10, 2025, Candace Owens has repeatedly advanced two main, high-profile claims: that the French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte ordered or paid for assassination plots targeting her (which she says she reported to U.S. authorities), and that Charlie Kirk’s death was the result of betrayal or a multinational, state‑backed plot involving French forces — claims she says she will substantiate and that have prompted her to plead with the FBI and White House to investigate [1] [2] [3].
1. Owens accuses the Macrons of ordering assassination plots — and says she told U.S. officials
Owens publicly alleged that Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron paid for assassination attempts against her, at times saying she received an “urgent warning” and that payments ran through French networks; she told followers she had submitted those allegations to the White House and sought contact from U.S. investigators [1] [4] [5]. News outlets record her posting the allegation on X and asserting she had notified U.S. authorities; reporting also notes French officials and security services have denied or questioned those assertions [1] [5].
2. She links Charlie Kirk’s death to French involvement and a wider conspiracy
Owens has publicly tied the September 10, 2025, killing of Charlie Kirk to foreign actors, alleging French Legionnaires — and even Israeli-linked operatives in some accounts — took part in or were involved in a multinational plot surrounding his death [2] [6]. She characterized Kirk’s killing as “multinationally planned” and has urged law-enforcement agencies to contact her about “bombshell” intelligence she says she possesses [2] [4].
3. Owens asserts TPUSA leadership “betrayed” Charlie Kirk and promises names/evidence
Beyond foreign-state accusations, Owens has pivoted to internal allegations: she declared she now has “the final pieces” showing Turning Point USA leadership and people who eulogized Kirk “betrayed” him before the Utah Valley University event on September 10, and she vowed to name individuals and produce evidence [7] [3] [8]. Multiple outlets report she posted this on X and promised forthcoming proof; as of those reports she had not yet published the detailed list or corroborating documents [3] [9].
4. Media and officials note lack of publicly disclosed evidence and official denials
Coverage repeatedly highlights that Owens has not produced verifiable evidence in the public domain for the Macron/assassination or foreign-legion claims; French officials and security sources have publicly pushed back, and independent reporting describes the Macron accusations as unproven or “without evidence” [1] [5] [2]. Several outlets characterise her claims as explosive but unsubstantiated pending documentation or corroboration [1] [4].
5. She frames the claims as urgent, seeks law‑enforcement validation, and courts controversy
Owens has presented her allegations as urgent intelligence — pleading directly with the FBI and saying she informed the White House — and she has used repeated public broadcasts and social posts to press for official confirmation [2] [4]. Reporters and critics note her track record of promoting conspiratorial narratives (for example, the Brigitte Macron material that led to a defamation lawsuit), which some analysts say shapes how audiences and officials interpret her current claims [10] [1].
6. Competing viewpoints and possible motives: truth claim vs. attention economy
Sources portray competing readings: Owens and her supporters treat her statements as genuine whistleblowing that must be investigated; critics, and some French officials, treat them as unproven and potentially harmful misinformation. Journalists and analysts also point to financial and audience incentives for provocative content in Owens’ media business model, suggesting controversy can drive engagement and revenue — an explicit theme in reporting on her broader output [10] [1].
7. What reporting does — and does not — say about verification and next steps
Available reporting documents Owens’ allegations, her public pleas to U.S. authorities, her promise to name TPUSA figures, and official pushback, but the sources show she has not publicly released the conclusive documents or corroborating evidence she promises; French security agencies have disputed certain specifics such as training timelines; and independent outlets emphasize the absence of confirmed proof in the public record [3] [1] [5]. Not found in current reporting: independent verification of any payments, a released paper trail, or law‑enforcement confirmation that an active multinational plot exists tied to the Macrons or French military training locations [11] [1].
Limitations: This account relies solely on the cited reporting; it cannot confirm facts beyond those articles. Readers should treat Owens’ claims as active allegations requiring corroboration from primary documents or official investigations; the available sources document the allegations and denials but do not establish the truth of the charges [4] [1] [2].
