DOJ, House Counsel Will Not Assist Mo Brooks in Lawsuit Filed Against Him by Eric Swalwell On 7/27/21 at 9:17 PM EDT The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the House Office of General Counsel have declined to defend Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) in a lawsuit filed against him by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.). U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ordered both the DOJ and the House general counsel to respond by Tuesday to Brooks assertion that he was operating within the scope of his job when he spoke at a rally in support of former President Donald Trump s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen shortly before the riot took place. Swalwell s lawsuit alleges that Brooks is partly responsible for the riot.
