Overview
- Owens posted on X on November 22 claiming a high-ranking French official told her the presidential couple commissioned and financed her killing through a small GIGN team, naming an Israeli participant and saying plans were formalized.
- She later asserted that payments flowed through the Club des Cent and said the U.S. government was aware, while also alleging that French journalist Xavier Poussard was under threat.
- Owens linked Charlie Kirk’s accused killer, Tyler Robinson, to training with the 13th Demi-Brigade of the French Foreign Legion, a connection for which reporting notes no evidence.
- Her posts drew vast reach on X, with view counts reported at more than 36 million, while French media documented largely skeptical reactions from users.
- Analysts and fact-checkers, including Conspiracy Watch’s Rudy Reichstadt, labeled the allegations disinformation and noted the absence of independent corroboration, with coverage recalling the Macrons’ July defamation complaint against Owens.
