Someone using a House of Representatives IP web address added President Donald Trump’s name to a Wikipedia article Thursday denoting prominent individuals who have been investigated for obstruction of justice.

In a now deleted tweet Federalist writer Gabriel Malor displayed a screenshot of the Wikipedia article, which simply lists the name “Donald Trump.”

Malor’s first tweet was followed by another since-deleted screenshot of a list of edits made to the page. Malor claimed that the image indicated that Trump’s name was added to the list by someone in Colorado GOP Rep. Mike Coffman’s office shortly before former FBI director James Comey’s testimony Thursday.

However, an email exchange obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation between Coffman’s office and House security specialists refuted Malor’s claims that Coffman’s office was responsible. In the email, security personnel indicate that the IP address connected to the edits is “associated with House Public [wifi], and anyone on campus would have that address when using House Public.”
