“I believe there is absolutely nothing, nothing that Mr. Reynal has done to fulfill his obligations to protect his client and prevent me from doing this,” he said, referring to Jones’ attorney, Antino Reynal. “I was asked by the January 6 committee to hand over the documents,” Bankston added later. Bankston declined to tell CNN which other investigators outside the House committee have expressed interest in obtaining Jones’ text files. Bankston revealed in court Wednesday that Reynal’s company, in an apparent fluke, sent him two years’ worth of cellphone records that included every message Jones had sent. Jones was a center fielder on January 6th. He was at the rally before the riot stormed the Capitol. The Infowars founder testified in substance before the committee on Jan. 6 earlier this year, but said he repeatedly asserted his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent during the interview. The judge overseeing the case advised Raynal to take some time while they awaited the verdict to research a legal argument that will prevent Bankston from disclosing information to the Jan. 6 panel and others. Later Thursday, the jury hearing the case ruled that Jones must pay the parents of a victim of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting more than $4 million for defamation and infliction of emotional distress.
