French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have initiated a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens in Delaware, US, due to Owens’ claims that the French first lady was born male. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday, accuses Owens of spreading false and defamatory information on her podcast and social media channels, including the claim that the Macrons are blood relatives and that the French President was installed by a CIA plot. The Macrons’ attorneys stated that they had requested a retraction from Owens, but resorted to legal action after she refused. The suit seeks unspecified damages and requires the Macrons to prove “actual malice” under US law.

According to Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville, the health issues facing former President Donald Trump are not due to age or lifestyle, but rather the pressure of “fighting the radicals.” Tuberville’s comments follow the White House’s recent announcement of a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency, a condition more common in the elderly. This diagnosis has sparked further concern regarding the former President’s health, given his age, lifestyle, and past attempts to limit public information about his health. Trump’s health has been a recurring subject of worry since he retook office due to his age and history of health concerns.

During a press conference, Georgia Republican Mike Collins made the false claim that former President Joe Biden was responsible for the 2020 civil unrest following the death of George Floyd, even though Biden was not in office at the time. Collins inaccurately attributed the violence and unrest to Biden’s administration, blaming him for encouraging and even funding the protests, despite the fact that the then-President Donald Trump was in office at the time of Floyd’s death. While Trump drew criticism for his response to the protests, and at one point used force to remove protesters for a photo opportunity, Collins went on to blame “socialist woke politicians” for the country’s current state. Notably, Biden was not even president at the time.

Pressure to conclude the EU investigation has increased, particularly following the streaming of an interview with a far-right German party leader.

Despite promises to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits, overtime, and tip income, Donald Trump has been falsely claiming success on these fronts. The recent tax and spending bill provides only temporary and partial relief, contrasting with Trump’s frequent assertions that these pledges have been fulfilled. These claims, however, ignore the limitations of the bill, which offers limited deductions and fails to make the provisions permanent, in addition to the potential for increased taxes due to proposed import taxes. The actual tax breaks and deductions provided are far less significant than what Trump has claimed, leading to accusations of misrepresentation.
