Maxine Waters responds to 'despicable' accusations her office leaked GOP senators' information
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) denied allegations being pedaled by “ultra-right wing” pundits and outlets claiming that a member of her staff was responsible for the release of personal information regarding U.S. senators.
Waters’ statement arrives on the heels of reports this week stating that three Republican senators’ personal information was leaked just hours after the Senate Judiciary Committee heard the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford, a college professor who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault while they were in high school.
The three Republican senators whose information was leaked onto Wikipedia were reportedly Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) , Mike Lee and Orrin G. Hatch (Utah), according to The Washington Post.
After the report, multiple right-wing sites like Gateway Pundit and RedState reported the IP address responsible for the leak was associated with Waters’ office and released the information of a staffer in the office.
“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.”
“This unfounded allegation is completely false and an absolute lie,” Waters continued.
