Brooks alleged criminal trespassing, but Swalwell’s lawyer says the server “did not enter the house” and called the claim “utterly false.”
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) successfully served Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) with a lawsuit holding Brooks and other top Republicans “responsible for the injury and destruction” on Jan.6 after initially failing to locate him – but Brooks alleged the server committed criminal trespassing, which Swalwell’s attorney denied. The lawsuit centers on speeches given by Brooks and the other defendants at a rally outside the White House shortly before the Capitol attack, which resulted in five deaths and hundreds of injuries.
