Original Note:

In October 2021, claims about Brigitte Macron's "mystery" emerged in "Facts and Documents," by late ultra-right writer Emmanuel Ratier in 1996. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/politics/article/2022/04/03/france-s-first-lady-her-brother-and-an-outrageous-fake-news-story_5979617_5.htm https://www.dailysabah.com/life/fake-news-claims-macrons-wife-was-born-a-man/news/amp
