Jones has since admitted that the shooting took place. The families have already won defamation lawsuits against Jones. “Alex Jones is simply delaying the inevitable: a public lawsuit in which he will be held accountable for his false campaign against the Sandy Hook families who have filed this lawsuit,” said Christopher Mattei, who represents the families in Connecticut. lawsuit against Jones. Jones’s lawyer did not immediately send a message requesting comment Monday. Last month, Jones was fined $ 75,000 for failing to appear in a defamation case, but a judge last week ordered a refund because Jones eventually appeared.

He has tried everything to avoid everything.”
