Computer in House offices attempted to edit Wikipedia entry for Devils Triangle to match what Kavanaugh claimedSarah K. Burris SARAH K. BURRIS

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh said that the Devils Triangle was a drinking game, but nowhere on the internet is that term used in association with a drinking game. That was until a person using a Congressional IP address tried to create one.
According to the tracking account Congressional Edits, which monitors such Wikipedia edits from such IP addresses, Devils Triangle (disambiguation) was edited anonymously from US House of Representatives Thursday at 21:18.
A popular drinking game enjoyed by friends of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, was the edit made.

According to Urban Dictionary, as well as Wikipedia and other sites, a Devils Triangle is a sexual term used to describe places someone penetrates a woman during intercourse. A later edit of the term included a threesome.
There is a game called beer pong triangle rules, but Kavanaugh compared it to quarters not beer pong.
