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.
When asked by prosecutor Joshua Steinglass who had won the election, Davidson confirmed that Donald Trump emerged victorious. Throughout his testimony, Davidson maintained eye contact with the jury, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
