French First Lady Valerie Trierweiler “says she plans to sue over the claim that emerged yesterday that in the early 2000s she had simultaneous affairs with both socialist Francois Hollande and right-wing politician Patrick Devedjian, while still married to her husband, Denis,” The Week reports.
The allegation is contained in an unauthorized biography of Trierweiler called La Frondeuse — The Troublemaker — by Christophe Jakubyszyn and Alix Bouilhaguet.
