Far-right commentator Candace Owens claimed she received a surprise phone call from President Donald Trump in February in which Trump requested her to not pursue the conspiracy theory that French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife, Brigitte Macron, was actually a man. Trump told Candace that he met Brigitte up close and she looked like a woman. Brigitte is old and the conspiracy theories are really impacting her, Trump told Candace. In her YouTube, and other platforms, Candace repeatedly claimed that Brigitte Macron is transgender. She went to the extent of claiming that Brigitte’s gender identity was concealed through media manipulation and cover-ups. In January this year, Owens claimed to have received a legal letter from Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron threatening action against her for spreading these rumors. She responded defiantly, vowing to publish the letter and continue her allegations, framing the legal threat as an attempt to silence her“You know, so here’s what happened I’m negotiating this thing, I’m a negotiating Ukraine and Russia and you wouldn’t believe how many, how many parts of…,” Donald Trump opened his call to Candace. “He just like jumps right into the narrative of exactly how this went down. I am literally… it is hard to catch my breath to comprehend that four days ago I am literally ending a series about Brigitte Macron, and now I’m speaking to the President of the United States and the topic of conversation is about Macron’s wife’s penis,” Candace revealed. Owens said she resisted and told the president that Brigitte Macron had the most amazing doctors who performed the surgeries. “And then I explained to him why I don’t feel so great about this request, because that’s the more important part: ‘Like you are requesting that I really, and despite your reasoning, which is very sound, that I stop telling the truth.’” Owens said. “And I said to Trump, and I will be honest, that at that moment I realized that one day this is gonna go into my autobiography and so I got to say something funny, and I just said, I said to him, ‘You know, respectfully, Mr. President, it’s not my fault that he married someone with a penis.’” Owens said. Trump said Macron was really good to him and wanted him to get this one this done. “Melania loves you… she says you’re beautiful,” Trump apparently told Candace.
