Bombshell report claims Emmanuel Macron and wife hired private sleuth to investigate Candace Owens
A new report claims French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron hired a private investigation firm in the United States prior to filing a high-profile defamation lawsuit against the American political commentator Candace Owens. The move appears to have been aimed to gather detailed background information regarding the origins of allegations Owens made in her controversial podcast series 'Becoming Brigitte.' Why the Investigation Allegedly Began According to the report, the Macrons were retained by Nardello & Co., a respected New York private investigative firm led by former federal prosecutor Dan Nardello. The agency's task was reportedly to examine Owens' political affiliations, professional relationships and potential sources behind her public remarks about the French First Lady. Owens had produced a podcast series that propagated widely debunked conspiracy theories, which the Macrons say crossed the line into harmful defamation and could harm their reputations.

However, the probe reportedly did not find concrete evidence of direct coordination between Owens and foreign operatives. Contentious Allegations in Owens' Podcast Owens' podcast, titled 'Becoming Brigitte,' centers on allegations that Brigitte Macron was born male under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux, later transitioned, and engaged in inappropriate relationships. Owens also suggested that French and international intelligence agencies covered up these supposed facts. All of these assertions have been consistently dismissed by the Macrons as entirely incorrect and defamatory. Brigitte Macron has previously faced similar rumors, which she has constantly denied. This latest wave, amplified by Owens' large online following, prompted the presidential couple to take stronger legal action. The defamation lawsuit filed in Delaware argues that Owens knowingly spread damaging lies, disregarding repeated requests for retractions. Live Events Unusual Legal Move for a World Leader For a sitting head of state to file a defamation lawsuit in the United States is an unusual step, citing the seriousness with which the Macrons view the matter. Reports suggest that they are prepared to testify if necessary, highlighting their intent to confront the allegations directly.
