The Department of Justice emphasized that those responsibilities do not include instigating an attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“The complaint alleges that Brooks conspired with others to instigate a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol and incited a riot there,”
“Instigating such an attack plainly could not be within the scope of federal employment,” it continues.
