• Owens publicly chastised President Trump and his administration for failing to back her free-speech defense after Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron filed a 22-count defamation lawsuit in Delaware
• She has continued to promote the thoroughly debunked transgender conspiracy about Brigitte Macron, most recently defending her claims on Tucker Carlson’s podcast
• Owens revealed that both an unnamed senior White House official and Trump personally asked her to stop spreading the false rumor, securing only her agreement to slow down her commentary
• In a heated rant, she speculated without evidence that the Macrons might fake the first lady’s death to avoid the court’s discovery process
• The lawsuit remains in pre-discovery in Delaware Superior Court, where judges will determine if the foreign-public-figure plaintiffs can prove actual malice under U.S. defamation law
