House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) hired Brian Jack, a top adviser to former President Donald Trump, months after Jack helped organize the "stop the steal" rally that immediately preceded the January 6 riot at the Capitol.
Jack, who was hired by McCarthy in March, was "directly involved in helping set up the rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol," according to Tuesday report from Charlie Sykes, editor of the conservative anti-Trump website The Bulwark. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), a stalwart Trump supporter who spoke at the rally, identified Jack as the person who asked him to speak at the rally.
"Per my cell phone records, on Tuesday morning, January 5, I had a telephone call with Brian Jack, White House Political Director," Brooks wrote in a statement on January 12. " He asked me to speak at the Trump rally the next day, Wednesday morning."
"I had never attended a Trump rally in my life but had seen many on TV, and thought it an honor for the White House to invite me to address Trump volunteers and supporters, so I readily agreed," he added.
