(MENAFN) US conservative analyst Candace Owens — who has asserted that French President Emmanuel Macron’s spouse, Brigitte, is a transgender woman — now contends that the president has approved an attempt on her life.

Owens, a well known YouTuber and podcaster, is entangled in an ongoing legal battle with the Macron family following the release of her series ‘Becoming Brigitte’ earlier this year.

In that program, she alleged that the first lady was born male and was biologically related to the French leader, while also claiming Emmanuel Macron had connections to a CIA mind control initiative.

In retaliation, the Macrons initiated a defamation lawsuit, accusing Owens of disseminating “outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions.”

On Friday, Owens published a message on X asserting she had been approached by “a high-ranking employee of the French government,” who told her that “the Macrons have executed upon and paid” for a supposed plan to assassinate both her and French journalist Xavier Poussard.

Poussard, the former editor of Faits et Documents, had previously advanced a theory alleging that Brigitte Macron, born Trogneux, had died young and that her older brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux, later underwent a sex change and adopted her identity before marrying Emmanuel Macron.

Owens further declared: “More specifically, that the green light was given to a small team in the National Gendamarie Intervention Group. I am told there is one Israeli that is on this assassination squad and the plans were formalized.”

She concluded by stressing the gravity of the matter: “This is deadly serious. The head of state of France apparently wants us both dead and has authorized professional units to carry this out.”
