SUMMARY: The Trump campaign recently faced scrutiny regarding the fallout between former Congressman Mo Brooks and Donald Trump, highlighted in Bob Woodward’s new book. Brooks initially supported Trump’s claims of election fraud but later resisted Trump’s request to rescind the 2020 election results. During a 2022 phone call, Trump allegedly urged Brooks to remove President Biden and call for special elections, which Brooks deemed unconstitutional. After declining the request, Brooks lost Trump’s endorsement in his Senate campaign, leading to his defeat. Despite this, Brooks believes he made the right choice, noting the legal risks of following Trump’s directions.

Former Huntsville-area Congressman Mo Brooks is back in the spotlight this week after investigative journalist Bob Woodward highlighted Brooks’ roller coaster relationship with former President Donald Trump in a new book.
