He now admits the shooting massacre was not a hoax.

For years, Jones, the founder of Infowars, peddled a conspiracy theory about the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where a shooter killed 20 children and six adults in 2012. Jones has repeatedly claimed the massacre was a “giant hoax” carried out by “crisis actors” in a broad scheme to trample on Second Amendment rights.
This lawsuit, which was filed in Texas, where InfoWars is based, is just one of multiple defamation suits filed against Jones. The plaintiffs of this case include Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, who say that as a result of Jones’s claims, their family was harassed and forced to move. Jones
has previously implied that De La Rosa was paid to pretend she was grieving her 6-year-old son’s death. Six other families of Sandy Hook victims
filed suit against Jones in Connecticut in April.
