All of Candace Owens claims post-9/10/25
Executive summary
Candace Owens has repeatedly advanced a series of extraordinary allegations since November 2025: that French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife ordered assassination plots against her, that French Foreign Legionnaires (and alleged Israeli-linked actors) were involved in Charlie Kirk’s September 10, 2025 killing, and that leadership inside Turning Point USA betrayed Kirk — and she says she will name names and produce documents [1] [2] [3]. Multiple outlets report she has submitted claims to U.S. authorities and publicly begged the FBI to contact her, but news organisations and French officials note she has not produced verifiable evidence so far and French authorities have denied training or involvement claims [4] [1] [5].
1. Owens’ core claims: assassination plots, Legionnaires and a TPUSA betrayal
Owens has asserted three linked narratives: that the Macrons ordered plots to kill her and others, that foreign military personnel including French Foreign Legionnaires (and possible Israeli-linked operatives) were involved in Charlie Kirk’s death, and separately that senior Turning Point USA figures “betrayed” Kirk and eulogised people who she now says were complicit — she promises names and proof [1] [6] [3] [7].
2. What Owens says she’s done: notifying authorities and going public
She has publicly said she reported intelligence to U.S. authorities and even submitted material to the White House and FBI, and she has pleaded for formal contact from federal investigators while broadcasting these allegations on her podcast and X posts [4] [2] [8].
3. Media coverage and amplification: viral reach but sceptical framing
News outlets record that her posts and podcast episodes have gone viral — one IBTimes story noted nearly 948,200 views within hours — and mainstream and niche outlets are covering the claims; many also emphasise a lack of corroborating evidence and treat the allegations as extraordinary and unproven [4] [2].
4. Official pushback: French authorities and other fact-checks
French officials and security services have publicly pushed back. Reporting cites denials about Foreign Legion training at specific U.S. sites and French officials labelling parts of her narrative “fake,” and multiple outlets say no credible evidence has been produced to substantiate Macron-directed plots [1] [5].
5. Specific factual claims flagged by journalists: payments, paper trails, training dates
Owens has claimed a $1.5 million payment trail hiring assassins and cited training dates and locations for joint exercises to link Legion activity to the September 10 event; outlets have reported these specific claims but also highlighted mismatches or denials in official timelines of training and noted that no independent documentation has been publicly provided [9] [1].
6. Allegations about TPUSA: betrayal vs. organization denials
Owens now accuses Turning Point USA leadership of betraying Charlie Kirk and says some who eulogised Kirk onstage were complicit; she has vowed to release names and evidence soon, while TPUSA-affiliated figures and other conservatives have pushed back and questioned her conclusions [3] [7] [10].
7. Context: Owens’ recent track record and litigation risk
Reporting situates these claims in a broader pattern: Owens has previously promoted conspiratorial claims about Brigitte Macron and faces a 219-page defamation complaint from the Macrons alleging a “campaign of global humiliation,” a context that critics and some journalists cite when evaluating her current accusations [11].
8. Competing perspectives: supporters, critics and neutral observers
Supporters amplify and demand investigations into Owens’ material; critics — from journalists to public officials — warn the claims are unproven and potentially dangerous, with some commentators saying her rhetoric risks inciting harm. Fact-checking outlets cited by international media say she has not produced credible evidence [2] [1] [12].
9. What the sources do and do not confirm
Available reporting confirms Owens has made these allegations publicly, claims to have notified U.S. authorities, and vows to produce names and documents [3] [4] [7]. Available sources do not mention any publicly released independent forensic documents, court filings or intelligence confirmations that substantiate an assassination order from the Macrons or TPUSA leadership’s criminal role [1] [5].
10. Why this matters and what to watch next
These claims touch on international diplomacy, extremism and a major U.S. political network; if Owens produces verifiable evidence it will transform the story, and if authorities publicly confirm or refute her submissions that will be decisive. For now, journalists and officials cited in current reporting treat the allegations as serious but unproven, and the key next developments to monitor are any documentary release by Owens and any formal statements from U.S. investigators or French security services [4] [1] [5].
