Check out what&#8217;s clicking on Foxnews.com.<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys for Rep. Eric Swalwell hired a private investigator to look for Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., to serve him with the California Democrat&#8217;s lawsuit, but have been unable to locate him despite spending &#8220;many hours over many days&#8221; on the hunt, according to a new court filing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell&#8217;s attorneys this week successfully asked a federal judge for more time to officially serve Brooks with the lawsuit papers given the ongoing difficulties they&#8217;ve had in contacting him. Swalwell filed suit in March against Brooks, former President Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani&nbsp;accusing them of inciting the <u>Jan. 6 riot<\/u> and demanding they be held financially responsible for&nbsp;the suffering that&nbsp;followed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the Trumps and Giuliani who have waived formal service of the lawsuit, Swalwell&#8217;s team says Brooks has made it hard on them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Plaintiff had to engage the services of a private investigator to attempt to serve Brooks personally \u2013 a difficult feat under normal circumstances that has been complicated further in the wake of the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol that Defendants incited,&#8221; Swalwell&#8217;s lawyers wrote in a Wednesday court filing that cited the lack of access to the Capitol grounds due to heightened security.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/640\/320\/mo-brooks.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\"><\/p>\n<p>\n      U.S. Rep.
