from the tisch wnet studios at lincoln center in new york, hari sreenivasan. >> sreenivasan: good evening, and thanks for joining us. before public campaigning in france's presidential election ended at midnight, the high- stakes contest between centrist emmanuel macron and far-right candidate marine le pen suffered a kind of disruption familiar to americans: the frontrunner was hacked. while france itself votes tomorrow, voting is already under way in french territories overseas and among french citizens living abroad, including 120,000 here in the united states. just before those first voters went to the polls today, macron confirmed he'd been targeted by a "massive hacking attack" after thousands of campaign emails and financial records were posted online. macron condemned the hackers f"" seeding doubt and disinformation." his campaign said some documents were authentic, but the postings included many fakes. france's election commission asked french media and citizens not to republish or share the hacked content and risk distorting the vote. no one has claimed responsibility for the ha
