The Justice Department says Brooks was engaged in campaign activity
when he participated in the rally. That is not within the scope of his
duties as a member of Congress, so he doesn't qualify for legal immunity
for his actions, the department said.
"The Department has declined to issue a certification because it cannot conclude that Brooks was acting within the scope of his office or employment as a Member of Congress at the time of the incident out of which the claims in this case arose," the Justice Department explained in a court filing.
