Eric Swalwell says he's hired a private investigator to find Mo Brooks and serve lawsuit
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Driving the news: Swalwell's attorneys claim in a court filing that Brooks is avoiding being served the suit, with their calls and emails going unanswered.
-
"Plaintiff had to engage the services of a private investigator to attempt to serve Brooks personally — a difficult feat under normal circumstances that has been complicated further in the wake of the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol that Defendants incited," the attorneys wrote.
-
The investigator "has spent many hours over many days" since April searching for Brooks, "to no avail," they added.
Why it matters: The lawsuit, which Swalwell has also filed against former President Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Rudy Giuliani, alleges that Brooks incited the Jan. 6 insurrection with his speech at a Washington, D.C., rally held before the violence.
The other side: Representatives for Brooks could not immediately be reached. After the suit was filed in March, he tweeted that the accusations were "frivolous" and "meritless."
