At the same time, you have to consider that if the same crooked reporter reported these leaks without providing any audio at all, or said they were emails, or texts, a large number of people would believe them anyway. You have to check what the delta is of people who would not have believed a plain text lie but would believe a video lie, and as deepfakes become more and more sophisticated in plain sight, that delta is bound to shrink. I feel that ultimately the delta will become negligible, because the cognitive flaws that would push us to believe deepfakes at an era when anyone can create a deepfake of themselves in 30 seconds on a website (not now, but not long after they would be used for propaganda) are the same that currently push us to believe clear textual propaganda. If you don't fall for one, you won't fall for the other.
