The Spin
Narrative A
The graft accusations against Rachida Dati are extremely significant and reflect on the entire international reputation of France. Dati's long history of corruption accusations also needs deep scrutiny, and voters in the future Paris elections should take heed.
Narrative B
Rachida Dati is still a valued member of the current French administration, and she has proclaimed her innocence. The public and media should consider her innocent unless meaningful information emerges that proves otherwise.
