Overview
- Owens said an unnamed high‑ranking French government source told her the couple approved and financed a plot to kill her.
- She claimed the operation involved France’s GIGN and included one Israeli operative, but she published no corroborating material.
- Owens asserted some U.S. officials were aware and warned that French journalist Xavier Poussard was also at risk.
- Reporters note that French, Israeli and U.S. authorities have not confirmed any plot, and no independent outlet has verified her allegations.
- Owens linked the claim to Charlie Kirk’s killing by alleging French Legion training for the suspect, while Telegram CEO Pavel Durov called French involvement in Kirk’s death “entirely plausible” in a post.
