Mr Macron’s camp was hacked just days before his run-off victory over Front National’s Marine Le Pen.

Thousands of emails sent during the run up to the vote earlier this year have been leaked online and the president has threatened legal action against the culprits.

A party statement said: “En Marche will inform the public prosecutor of this new publication in the complaint already filed and under consideration for fraudulent access, fraudulent extraction of data, breach of correspondence and identity theft.”

Although Julian Assange is not specifically mentioned in the statement, the Wikileaks founder decided to troll the party and goad its leader.
