French far-right leader Marine Le Pen said Tuesday she would run for president in the 2027 election after an appeals court upheld her conviction for misusing EU funds. The court suspended two years of a three-year prison sentence and ordered her to serve one year at home with an electronic ankle monitor. Le Pen told TF1 that her further appeal to the Cour de Cassation — effectively the supreme court of France — would put her sentence on hold and she would be able to campaign without the ankle monitor. However, legal expert opinion is divided on the matter. 0:00 French far-right leader Le Pen says she will run for president 1:35 Le Pen to stand alongside Jordan Bardella 2:30 How flexible is house arrest? 3:27 Marine Le Pen's belief on her appeal to the appeal 4:35 Will she wear an ankle monitor as a badge of honor? 5:54 How the court has shortened the ban on Le Pen's running for office Watch 24/7 live news with CNN Headlines: https://bit.ly/4eIvlTr #MarineLePen #France #news
