While there are loads of contexts where “take it has read” is fine (Smith, who I take it has read the letter) , the first ghits show a certain confusion:

If there ever was proof of her marriage to Edward IV I think we can take it has read it was destroyed a long time ago.

We might call that one the airy has*. It’s heither a Québecois haccent, a misspelling, a WTFT, or a hitchy typing finger. Here are other airy has’s from around the web, where the same perps ave used more than one has.
