WikiLeaks issues leaked Emmanuel Macron emails

Roughly 20,000 emails allegedly stolen from French President Emmanuel Macron’s campaign have been digitally verified and published to WikiLeaks, the group said on Monday.

The emails caused a stir when they were initially published just two days before France’s May 7 presidential runoff, which pitted Mr Macron against French far-right leader Marine Le Pen. But unlike the leaks that rattled the 2016 American presidential race, the French email leak had little if any impact and Mr Macron still handily beat Ms Le Pen. The messages have since been picked over by the French press, although WikiLeaks’ move may draw new attention to them.
