GOP Rep. Mo Brooks finally served court papers in Jan. 6 lawsuit after dodging private investigator
Source: Salon
Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., admitted Sunday that he was finally served court papers in a lawsuit brought by fellow Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Cali., over his alleged role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol building.
Brooks had spent at least a week dodging a private investigator hired by Swalwell to deliver the documents, which would officially begin proceedings in the case. While on the run, he taunted Swalwell incessantly on Twitter over the California Democrat's apparent inability to locate him.
In another tweet Sunday, Brooks admitted that someone had finally tracked down his wife at the Congressman's family home and given her official notice of the lawsuit. Brooks also appeared to claim that in the process of delivering the court papers the individual had trespassed on his property while seemingly threatening to bring another lawsuit against the person.
"HORRIBLE Swalwell's team committed a CRIME by unlawfully sneaking INTO MY HOUSE & accosting my wife!" Brooks tweeted. "Alabama Code 13A-7-2: 1st degree criminal trespass. Year in jail. $6000 fine. More to come!"
