Macrons to Present Scientific and Photographic Evidence in U.S. Defamation Case Against Candace Owens

The announcement signals a strategy designed to clear the high U.S. actual‑malice threshold for public‑figure defamation claims.

Overview

  • U.S. attorney Tom Clare said expert testimony of a scientific nature and photographs, including images of Brigitte Macron pregnant, will be offered to demonstrate falsity.
  • Candace Owens has repeatedly promoted the debunked claim that Brigitte Macron was born male and has said she would stake her professional reputation on it.
  • The 218–219 page lawsuit was filed in Delaware in July and remains pre‑discovery, with both Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron prepared to testify, according to their lawyer.
  • Owens’ legal team has moved to dismiss, arguing lack of Delaware jurisdiction and raising First Amendment defenses, calling the case politically motivated.
  • A related French case over the same rumor was overturned on appeal this year and is now before the Cour de Cassation, even as the U.S. suit proceeds in Delaware.
