Members of the French government rallied around Budget Minister Gerald Darmanin,
who has been accused of rape in a case dating back nearly a decade.
On Saturday, the Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed that it had reopened an investigation into allegations Darmanin, 35,
pressured a woman into sex in return for promising to help clear her name in a legal dispute.
