Hacking arrest, fake news in tense French presidential race


Allegations of fake news and hacking attempts dominated France's tense presidential campaign Thursday, with just two days left for independent Emmanuel Macron and his far-right rival Marine Le Pen to win over voters before Sunday's high-stakes runoff. "I hope we won't find out you have an offshore account in the Bahamas," Le Pen said. Speaking on France Inter radio, Macron blamed Le Pen for spreading "fake news" and said he never held a bank account "in any tax haven whatsoever." Le Pen herself gave a fiery speech in a field in northern France Thursday, with an emotional appeal to desperate farmers, the jobless and the disillusioned. Gaelle Vincent, 35, wore a French flag in her hair to hear Le Pen speak.
