The commission said the leaked data apparently came from Macron’s “information systems and mail accounts from some of his campaign managers.” It said the leaked data had been “fraudulently” obtained and that fake news has probably been mingled in with it.
The commission urged French media and citizens “not to relay” the leaked documents “in order not to alter the sincerity of the vote.” French electoral laws impose a news blackout Saturday and most of Sunday on any campaigning and media coverage seen as swaying the election.
