The 1/6 Committee Has Alex Jones’s Texts
Approximately two years’ worth of text messages sent and received by right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been turned over to the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, a person familiar with the matter told CNN on Monday.
The messages were handed over to the committee by Mark Bankston, the attorney who represented two Sandy Hook parents who successfully sued Jones in Texas and won nearly $50 million in a civil trial that concluded last week.
Alex Jones Bragged About His Coordination With Trump Before The 1/6 Attack
If Alex Jones is to be believed, he publicly bragged about his coordination with Trump on the 1/6 attack. Jones’s text could be valuable to the Committee for who he was communicating with. Alex Jones has been linked to militia groups and Trump operatives like Roger Stone.
As of Sunday, the 1/6 Committee had not seen Alex Jones’s texts, but that has all changed now.
Alex Jones’s text messages being in the hands of the 1/6 Committee is very bad news for Trump. Roger Stone tried to put out a pre-defense that suggested he was set up by Jones’s lawyer.
Things have been very bad for Trump and his co-conspirators, and it is about to get a lot worse.
