#HOOK AND REAL TRIAL#

Jones is facing trial over a $150 million defamation lawsuit filed by parents of one of the 20 first-graders killed during the 2012 bloodbath in Newtown, Conn. “Do you know what perjury is?” the parents’ lawyer, Mark Bankston, asked Jones, who stated that he did.

The far-right Infowars founder continued the apparent lie about the messages under oath at the defamation trial Tuesday and Wednesday morning before the parent’s counsel presented the text messages as evidence. Jones claimed for years that he found zero texts and emails that mentioned the 2012 school shooting when requested by the court to turn over such records. Jones’ legal team - in an apparent error - sent a digital receipt of every text he sent about Sandy Hook over the past two years to the lawyers for a Sandy Hook victim’s parents who are suing him for defamation. Jones, 48, was left gobsmacked on the stand after he was informed his lawyers accidentally released hundreds of his own text messages about the Sandy Hook shooting after Jones claimed he found zero texts regarding the massacre.
