Wikipedia entry for 'Devil's Triangle' changed to match Kavanaugh's answer

Source: CNN

(CNN)Brett Kavanaugh's senior yearbook page, like his 1982 calendar, had been like a puzzle waiting to be solved.

Wikipedia, the crowd-sourced online encyclopedia, was edited after his testimony to make his explanation of one of the mysteries make sense.

The attorney Michael Avenatti suggested there was some sexual innuendo, and entries online had similarly nefarious definitions of the term. Avenatti's client later accused Kavanaugh of being present at a party where she said she was "gang" raped. Those accusations featured in the hearing, and Kavanaugh refuted them as pure fantasy during his opening statement.

Anyone can change anything in Wikipedia but without validation the citation returns to its previous state in about 24 hours.

Unless you mean that the spurious entry was an attempted coverup. Then yes.
