During a recent court proceeding, Keith Davidson, a key figure in the National Enquirer scandal, shed light on a text he sent to editor Dylan Howard on election night. In the text, Davidson expressed a sense of disbelief, asking 'what have we done?' He described this message as 'sort of gallows humor,' suggesting that it was a moment of dark humor amidst the unfolding events.
The context of this text exchange was the surprising results of the election, with Donald Trump leading in the polls. Davidson recalled a growing realization among broadcasters and others that Trump was on the verge of victory. He acknowledged that there was a sense that their 'activities' may have inadvertently supported Trump's presidential campaign.
