The lawyer promised to show scientific evidence of the sex of Macron's wife in court.

Tom Clare, the chief lawyer for French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte, told the BBC podcast that his clients are ready to refute the accusations regarding the first lady's gender in court.

"He said that there would be "expert opinions that would be of a scientific nature," without disclosing details," the Daily Mail newspaper quoted him as saying on September 18.

It is specified that we are talking, among other things, about photographs of the pregnant wife of the president and her children. The lawyer added that the Macrons considered the statements about the first lady's gender "extremely outrageous." According to him, Brigitte Macron is ready to do "everything possible to resolve the situation."

The Financial Times (FT) newspaper reported on July 23 that the Macrons filed a defamation lawsuit against journalist Candice Owens, who claimed that the first lady of France was a man. According to the newspaper, the 218-page lawsuit alleges that the journalist published "ridiculous, defamatory and far-fetched fictions."

Owens said on July 2 that American leader Donald Trump had called for an end to the investigation into Brigitte Macron because she allegedly could have been a man in the past. According to the journalist, during his visit to the United States, the French president personally asked Trump to influence her.
