He's in court this week, already convicted of lying and causing harm to the parents of the kids slaughtered at Sandy Hook, by maintaining for years that the shooting was "a hoax." This week's proceedings are for a jury to determine appropriate damages.
Jones has argued this week that his business is not exorbitantly profitable, and Infowars' parent company even coincidentally declared bankruptcy this week. Huh
Today in court, the plaintiffs' attorney produced texts, though, which suggested otherwise. When asked where they came from - as Jones had claimed that no texts or emails etc existed, the lawyer mentioned that 12 days ago, Jones' lawyers accidentally sent the entire contents of Jones' phone to them. Including voluminous texts about these and other issues, accounting documents about his business, etc.
Oops.
All this should have been provided during discovery, yet somehow were omitted.
It will be fascinating, I should think, when subpoenas arrive for this phone from the DoJ, and the J6 committee.
In the meantime, the phone's contents will have a rather unsettling impact on the jury's opinion of Jones' truthfulness and credibility. Will be interesting to see if perjury charges also follow.
