| US 'spied on French presidents' - Wikileaks | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| The US National Security Agency (NSA) spied on French Presidents Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy and Francois Hollande in 2006-12, WikiLeaks says. | |
| The whistleblower website cites "top secret intelligence reports and technical documents" from the NSA. | |
| US State Department Spokesman John Kirby said: "We do not comment on the veracity or content of leaked documents." France has made no comment. | |
| The NSA was earlier accused of spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel. | |
| That allegation arose from documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden about large-scale US surveillance in 2013. | |
| However, earlier this month Germany dropped its investigation, saying the NSA had failed to provide enough evidence to justify legal action. |
