Conservative podcaster Candace Owens has been at the center of controversy following the White House Correspondents' dinner shooting, with some claiming she has ties to the alleged shooter, Cole Tomas Allen.
However, fact-checking has revealed that these claims are mere conspiracy theories with no credible evidence to support them.
Owens has been traveling with her family, and her silence on the shooting can be attributed to spending time with her loved ones.
The claims of Owens being in Italy and a Google Trends spike in searches for Allen's name have been debunked, with experts stating that searches spiked globally after the news broke and no ties exist between Owens and Allen.
