Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) on Thursday sent a letter to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, saying that if certain conditions are met, he will testify before the panel.
Brooks participated in the "Stop the Steal" rally on Jan. 6, 2021, that took place immediately before the Capitol riot, and several witnesses told the Jan. 6 committee that before former President Donald Trump left office, Brooks asked for a presidential pardon. Earlier this week, Brooks lost Alabama's Republican Senate primary, after Trump rescinded his endorsement and switched his allegiance to Katie Britt, a first-time candidate.
