Claim
False
“The MacronLeaks hack-and-leak changed the result of France’s 2017 presidential election”
Reviewed September 22, 2026
Verdict
False. Macron won the run-off decisively, 66.1% to 33.9%, on hand-counted paper ballots. The dump landed against the pre-election media blackout, the electoral commission warned against republishing it, and it contained obvious forgeries.
