French first lady dismisses rumors of infidelity

PARIS (AP) - April 7, 2010

She says that she and Sarkozy "have turned the page" and suggested the media to do the same.

A close Sarkozy aide and the president's lawyer have both held out the possibility the rumors were a plot to "destabilize" France's leading couple. But the first lady said "these rumors are insignificant. ... There is no plot."

The rumors started in early March on a weekly newspaper's blog, and the paper's owner has filed a legal complaint, opening an investigation.
