Politico’s New Owner Prayed for Trump’s Re-Election

The new German owner of Politico sent an email to his closest executives asking if they should meet up to pray for Donald Trump’s re-election, the Washington Post reports.

When asked about the email, Mathias Döpfner initially denied it existed: “It has never been sent and has never been even imagined.”

When confronted with a printout of the email, he explained that he may have sent it “as an ironic, provocative statement in the circle of people that hate Donald Trump.”
