In an unusual series of reply filings, Brooks—who is representing himself in the matter—claimed his incendiary speech during Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally at the Ellipse fell within the scope of his duty as a member of Congress. However, the lawmaker also noted that he has been “faithful to his wife” of 45 years, has never received a speeding ticket or smoked tobacco, and that none of his four children have been divorced.

State denies emergency staffing funds for North Texas hospitals as COVID cases soar
Texas officials are denying emergency staffing funds to hospitals, and are instead directing requests to local governments as the COVID-19 delta variant spreads through the state.
There have been more than 600 medical surge staff requests to the Texas Department of State Health Services by North Texas hospitals, said Crystal Kellan, spokesperson for the North Central Texas Trauma Regional Advisory Council.
The state is not filling medical surge staffing requests, she said, and hospitals are being redirected to work with their cities and counties to leverage federal funds. Kellan said she didn’t know when the majority of those requests were made.
Texas has seen a sharp increase in the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the past month. The Texas Department of State Health Services reported nearly 7,700 hospitalizations Tuesday compared with just under 1,700 on July 4.
