During the testimony by Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh this week, someone doxxed three Republican senators by adding their home addresses and private phone numbers to Wikipedia.
Gateway Pundit and RedState have claimed in separate reports that the internet footprints lead to someone in the House of Representatives office of California Congresswoman Maxine Waters. She denies the charge.

Graham (S.C.) , Mike Lee and Orrin G. Hatch (Utah), according to The Washington Post…“Lies, lies, and more despicable lies,” Waters said in a statement shared to Twitter on Saturday. “I am utterly disgusted by the spread of the completely false, absurd, and dangerous lies and conspiracy theories that are being pedaled by ultra-right wing pundits, outlets, and websites who are promoting a fraudulent claim that a member of my staff was responsible for the release of the personal information of Member of United States Senate on Wikipedia.”
