Michigan voter fraud hearing goes viral for alleged flatulence, unruly witness
A hearing in Michigan on Wednesday regarding voter fraud in the presidential election went viral over alleged flatulence and testimony from an unruly witness.
During the nearly five-hour hearing before the Michigan state legislature, President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and other witnesses repeated debunked claims of voter fraud and election misconduct, according to MLive.com.
HuffPost reporter Ryan J. Reilly shared a video on Twitter of Giuliani passionately answering a question about Attorney General William Barr’s statement that federal prosecutors had not found evidence of election fraud that would influence the outcome.
During the clip, what sounds like flatulence can be heard as he’s speaking.
A second clip by Reilly was shared 2.3 million times.

Another clip from the hearing went viral of a witness telling the panel baseless accusations of widespread voter fraud.
Roughly 30 seconds into the clip, she interrupts a Michigan representatives trying to ask a follow-up question to a statement she made.
Giuliani can be seen reaching over to her, tapping her arm, and then tapping the table. He appeared to be trying to get the witness’ attention.
