Candace Owens says her fight to obtain records connected to a controversial White House Correspondents’ Dinner email is far from over. In a recent YouTube episode, the political commentator claimed federal agencies are pushing back against her Freedom of Information Act requests tied to an internal email mentioning Erika Kirk as an “emotional asset” shortly after the reported shooting incident linked to the WHCD controversy.

Owens argued that the response from government departments only strengthened her suspicions. She said officials first redirected her request before later claiming the search was too broad to complete. The update has reignited online debate surrounding the authenticity of the leaked email and the people allegedly connected to it.

During the episode, Owens directly accused media personality Andrew Colvett of avoiding direct statements while allowing others to defend him publicly.
“Andrew Colvett is very clearly being advised to lie by omission or to bring on people who are willing to lie explicitly, like Graham Allen,” Owens said.
She also revisited criticism surrounding the leaked White House Correspondents’ Dinner email that some online personalities allegedly labeled fake. Owens insisted she remains confident the document is authentic and claimed the eventual FOIA response will support her position.
