Brigitte Macron to Present Scientific Proof in U.S. Defamation Battle with Candace Owens

  Macrons to offer 'scientific evidence' to US court to prove Brigitte is a woman, lawyer says. France’s First Lady, Brigitte Macron, will submit photographic and scientific evidence to a U.S. court to counter conspiracy theories claiming she was born male. The move comes as part of a defamation lawsuit she and President Emmanuel Macron filed in Delaware against U.S. right-wing commentator Candace Owens, who has repeatedly alleged that Brigitte is a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux. The Macrons’ lawyer, Tom Clare, told the BBC that the evidence will include expert testimony and may feature images of Brigitte during pregnancy, aiming to prove “both generically and specifically” that the claims are false.

Starmer and Trump Showcase Unity, Sidestep Contentious Issues in UK Visit

U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer hold a press conference following their meeting at Chequers, near Aylesbury, Britain, September 18, 2025.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and U.S. President Donald Trump closed the latter’s unprecedented second state visit to the UK with a display of warmth and economic ambition, hailing a “renewed special relationship” while steering clear of divisive topics.

At Chequers, the leaders unveiled a record £150 billion ($205 billion) U.S. investment package into Britain — part of a wider £250 billion deal spanning technology, energy, and infrastructure. Major commitments include a tech pact with firms such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI, alongside £100 billion from investment giant Blackstone. Starmer called the agreements “a signal of our determination to win this race together,” promising jobs, growth, and lower household bills.

Both leaders avoided clashes over Gaza, Ukraine, and steel tariffs, instead emphasising shared economic goals. Trump praised Starmer as a “tough negotiator” and described U.S.-UK ties as “unbreakable.” Questions over the late financier Jeffrey Epstein — linked to both Trump and Starmer’s recently dismissed U.S. ambassador — were deflected.

The visit, marked by royal pageantry and business diplomacy, leaves unresolved policy gaps but cements a narrative of transatlantic cooperation built on investment and mutual political benefit.
