Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) told the Montgomery Advertiser that he did not help plan a Jan. 6 rally that preceded an attack on the U.S. Capitol that involved the deaths of at least five people and injuries to hundreds more.
Said Brooks: “If you’re talking about someone participating in meetings, setting the agenda, raising the money, I don’t know of anything that suggests my staff as doing that stuff.”
Brooks said he only spoke at the rally because the White House asked him to do so the day before.
Brooks did plan ahead to wear body armor to the rally.
