Macron says he’s not the focus of campaign accounts probe

PARIS – French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday denied that he was the focus of a judicial investigation into suspected illegal financing of electoral campaigns in 2017 and 2022. The comments come after leading French newspaper Le Parisien reported that the probe targets Macron’s winning election bids. Macron said he had “nothing to fear” from the investigation, and said he wasn’t its focus. The judiciary will work “freely” and “shed light on the issue,” he said. “It’s normal that justice does its job.”
