(Bloomberg) Representative Mo Brooks, an Alabama Republican, claims he can’t be sued over his fiery speech challenging the 2020 election results at a rally just before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot because he’s a federal employee.
Brooks made the argument in a July 2 filing responding to a suit by a fellow member of Congress. Representative Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat, accuses Brooks, former President Donald Trump and others of inciting the deadly Capitol insurrection.
