What they're saying: "Well, Swalwell FINALLY did his job, served complaint (on my WIFE)," Brooks tweeted.

Representatives for Brooks and Swalwell could not immediately be reached
The big picture: Swalwell's lawsuit has also been filed against former President Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Rudy Giuliani over the Jan. 6 insurrection.
