The 69-page lawsuit says Owens falsely tied Charlie Kirk's former security chief to a plot to kill Kirk after an alleged meeting at a military base before the September shooting at Utah Valley University.
Harpole denies any role in an assassination conspiracy and accuses Owens of a deliberate campaign to defame him for attention and media exposure.
Owens called the case "insane" on her podcast, denied wrongdoing and said she was seeking the truth about what happened to Kirk; Snow did not immediately respond.
Could Harpole's lawsuit against Candace Owens reveal new evidence about Charlie Kirk's assassination that has not yet come to light?
How might the court determine whether Owens acted with 'actual malice' despite being shown evidence contradicting her claims?
What impact could this high-profile defamation case have on the future of influencer-driven conspiracy theories and personal reputations?
