Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) has been served with a lawsuit filed by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), days after attorneys for Swalwell said they were having trouble tracking down the Alabama Republican, Brooks and a Swalwell representative confirmed.
The lawsuit accuses Brooks and other allies of former President Trump of provoking the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Brooks tweeted on Sunday that he had been served with the suit and claimed members of “Swalwell’s team” broke into his home and served the lawsuit to his wife.
Swalwell’s lawsuit, filed in March, accuses the former president, his onetime personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, his son Donald Trump Jr. and Brooks of instigating the Jan. 6 riot and breaking multiple Washington, D.C., laws in the process. The suit specifically cites the “Stop the Steal” rally that took place immediately before rioters broke into the Capitol.
