French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have filed a defamation lawsuit against a right-wing commentator from the US who claimed the first lady is "actually a man." This was reported by the British newspaper "Guardian," which noted that the commentator, Candace Owens, also claimed that Macron is controlled by the CIA (American intelligence agency). The president and his wife said that Owens' claims are "defamatory attacks" intended to leverage her status.
