The latest leaked emails look intended to influence Sunday’s French election and aftermath. “While we are still awaiting confirmation from French officials that there are indeed forgeries being dumped along with authentic stolen documents, this would represent yet another dangerous escalation of cyber interference in a Western nation’s democracy,” Schiff said in a statement. Democrats made similar warnings last year over the hacked emails that appeared on sites such as WikiLeaks, although they never proved that any of the documents were actually fake. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Saturday that the reported hacking of Macron’s campaign raises a potential “nightmare scenario,” pointing to allegations by Macron’s campaign that some of the dumped material may be forgeries. Democrats, whose party fell prey last year to politically timed leaks of hacked emails that intelligence agencies linked to Russia. And it revived dreadful memories for some U.S. The news of the hack - which supporters of far-right candidate Marine Le Pen and people associated with the United States’ alt-right movement promoted on social media under the hashtag "#macronleaks” - added a surprise twist to the closing moments of a divisive race.
