Rep. Mo Brooks shifted blame onto his staff after he was accused of helping to organize the January
Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks sought to shift blame onto his staff over his alleged role in planning the rally that preceded the Capitol riot.
"I don't know if my staff did," Brooks said when asked if he was part of the planning for the "Stop the Steal" event, CNN's Melanie Zanona tweeted.
The Capitol Hill reporter said Brooks also told her that if his staff were involved in planning the rally, he'd "be proud of them for helping to put together a rally lawful under the First Amendment at the ellipse to protest voter fraud & election theft."

Brooks was responding to a Rolling Stone report that identified him as one of the lawmakers involved in planning the rally outside the Capitol in Washington, DC.
