"It was not me!!!!" Rep. Eric Swalwell said in a text message.
In an interview Monday night with MSNBC host Chris Matthews, California Rep. Eric Swalwell appeared to...well, rip an absolutely enormous fart.
"Chris, so far the evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to help him cheat an election," he said from the Capitol.
The Democrat, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, appeared to react to the fart with a brief pause, while attempting not to smile.
As the clip of Swalwell quickly circulated on the internet, some began to speculate that the California representative was the one behind the loud flatulence.
But in a text to BuzzFeed News on Monday night, Swalwell denied having anything to do with it.
"It was not me!!!!!" he wrote.

Of course, he farted. He was wiggling around to hold it and paused talking when it exploded. Rather than trying to lie his way out of it, he should have laughed.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Fartgate? That’s the most eloquent thing Eric has ever spouted! Funny!
