| The allegations seriously jeopardise Strauss-Kahn's political future in France |
A New York court appearance by Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the International Monetary Fund [IMF] chief, to face charges he sexually assaulted a hotel chambermaid has been postponed so he can undergo an examination, his lawyers have said.
"Our client willingly consented to a scientific and forensic examination tonight [Sunday] ... at the request of the government and in light of the hour we have agreed to postpone the arraignment until tomorrow morning," William Taylor, his lawyer, told reporters outside Manhattan Criminal Court.
"He's tired but he's fine," Taylor said when asked about Strauss-Kahn, who was led away from a police station in handcuffs and is currently placed behind bars.
