American journalist and commentator Candace Owens has publicly revealed that French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron authorized and funded an assassination attempt against her, alleging the plot was carried out by a small team from France's elite National Gendarmerie Intervention Group (GIGN) and involved an Israeli operative.

The mother of four revealed that a high-ranking French government employee contacted her two days prior, providing what she deemed credible evidence of the conspiracy, including claims that the plans were formalized and that the assassination was linked to the 2025 killing of Charlie Kirk, whose alleged assassin trained with the French 13th Legion Brigade.

Owens also warned that French journalist Xavier Poussard, who has written about Brigitte Macron, is at risk, and she appealed to her followers to share her post, expressing distrust in U.S. government officials, who she said, are apparently aware of the plot. She made the revelations in a long post on X, labeled “URGENT,” stating she was contacted by a high-ranking French government source who claimed the Macrons had “executed upon and paid for my assassination.” Owens wrote:

Two days ago I was contacted by a high-ranking employee of the French Government. After determining this person’s position and proximity to the French couple, I have deemed the information they gave me to be credible enough to share publicly in the event that something happens. 

In short, this person claims that the Macrons have executed upon and paid for my assassination. Yes, you read that correctly. More specifically, that the green light was given to a small team in National Gendamarie Intervention Group. I am told there is one Israeli that is on this assasination squad and the plans were formalized. 

Again, this person provided concrete proof that they are well placed within the French government apparatus. 

Further to this point, this person claims that Charlie Kirk’s assassin trained with the French legion 13th brigade with multi-state involvement. 

Journalist Xavier Poussard’s life is also at risk. This is deadly serious. The head of state of France apparently wants us both dead and has authorized professional units to carry this out. 

I ask that every person RETWEET and share this. 

I do not know who in the American government can be trusted, since this source claims our leaders are aware. But I have more specific information which is definitively verifiable, should they care to reach out to me. 

To the brave official in France who did this because they were so moved by the evil of Charlie’s public execution to risk their own life— May God bless you. Truly. 

Let all be revealed.

Owens connected the assassination plot to the murder of Kirk, asserting that the killer trained with the French 13th Legion Brigade and that the attack was intended to distract from her investigative podcast series, Becoming Brigitte, which questioned Brigitte Macron’s gender identity.

"I am told that payments for assassinations are running through the Club des Cent in France. Owens added in another post. "This means there is a paper trail and I encourage the patriots of France to do what you can to uncover it. I would again like to stress that there was a French female assassin but also a male, Israeli assassin that were selected to kill me. These are joint state operations."

In another X post Sunday, Owens revealed that she has reported the plot to authorities. "I have informed people in the Federal government and the White House of the France and Israeli assassination plot and am willing to provide full details, as well as the name of the assassins and international accounts in France and Canada through which money was exchanged," she wrote. "Beyond that, I have shared more information with the public regarding the Brigitte story I was investigating at the time of Charlie’s assassination. This is all available on my Instagram stories. Thank you all for reaching out and praying for my family."

No official response has been issued by French, Israeli, or U.S. authorities as of the time of publishing this story.

"The situation is extremely serious," Poussard wrote on X. "The head of the French state apparently wishes the death of Candace Owens and Xavier Poussard and has mandated specialized units to achieve it."

Commenting on the revelations, Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov, who had been harassed by French authorities in the past, said Owens' claims appear plausible.

"After reviewing everything Charlie Kirk has ever said about Macron’s France, I find Candace’s info about French involvement in his death entirely plausible," Durov wrote on X, Sunday. "Charlie even called for 300% tariffs on France until the charges against me were dropped."

"Well-connected people have told me that the French intelligence services are not exactly unknown for assassinations, a point supported by public sources," Durov added in another post.

The allegations come amid an ongoing defamation lawsuit filed by the Macrons against Owens in an American court, which began in July 2025 over her claims that Brigitte Macron was born a man. She has also been facing criticisms from pro-Israel activists and Jewish supremacists for her investigative reporting on the fallout following the assassination of Kirk.

Elon Musk’s social media platform X has launched a new “About This Account” feature that reveals the geographic location of user accounts, leading to widespread revelations that numerous high-profile left-wing, pro-Israel and Democrat Party-associated accounts are based outside the United States, including in Nigeria, India, Eastern Europe, and Bangladesh.

While the feature was intended to increase transparency and authenticity, it has sparked a major controversy by exposing that many accounts portraying themselves as American activists are actually operated by foreign users, raising concerns about foreign influence operations and the monetization of political outrage.

The feature, which shows where an account was created, when it joined, username changes, and app download method, was briefly removed hours after launch, fueling speculation about a reaction to the political fallout, though it has since been reinstated.

X officials, including product head Nikita Bier, acknowledged the feature has “a few rough edges” and that VPN use can distort location data, but emphasized the goal is to help users verify content authenticity.

The feature was rolled out on Friday, and within hours, users began uncovering that prominent left-wing accounts were based overseas.

The exposure has led to accusations that these accounts are part of a global disinformation economy, where foreign nationals profit from generating engagement through divisive U.S. anti-conservative political content.

While some accounts claimed to be from the U.S., X data showed origins in countries like Bangladesh, India, and the Philippines, with one anti-immigration account traced to Bangladesh and a network of “progressive independent women” found to be based in Thailand..

The revelations have prompted political debate, with right-wing influencers calling it a “complete vindication” of long-standing warnings about foreign interference.

The feature remains active, though concerns persist about the accuracy of location data as privacy experts argue that changing user' locations due to travel, and the use of VPN may render the feature unreliable.
