WASHINGTON – A House member is suing former President Donald Trump, his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and a fellow House member for their roles in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, but the toughest hurdle has proved to be just serving Rep. Mo Brooks with the lawsuit.
The lawyer for Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., tried contacting Brooks’ office and received no reply. The lawyer couldn’t visit the office in person because of security restrictions since the riot. Swalwell even hired a private detective to track down Brooks, with no luck.
“Plaintiff’s investigator has spent many hours over may days in April and May at locations in multiple jurisdictions attempting to locate and serve Brooks, to no avail,” according to a court filing.
