Attorneys for InfoWars host Alex Jones say he’ll finally sit for a deposition in a defamation lawsuit filed against him by families of victims killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Jones was sued in 2018 by the families for making false claims about the shooting. Though Jones has already been found liable for defamation, the case continues, as a jury still needs to determine how much Jones owes in damages.
Attorneys for Jones now say he’ll show up in Bridgeport, Connecticut, for a deposition on April 11.
“Mr. Jones has agreed to appear in Connecticut for a deposition at the plaintiffs’ law firm on April 11, 2022,” attorney Cameron Atkinson wrote in a court document filed Thursday
Jones was held in contempt of court on Wednesday after missing two full days of depositions last week. Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis gave him until April 15 to sit for two full days of deposition, and for every weekday before then that he doesn’t sit for one, she’ll fine him at least $25,000.

Whoever hears the appeal needs to tell him to "go f#$% himself". That's about the same level of respect he has given the families and victims of Sandy Hook.

The judge appears to lack confidence in Mr. Jones’s reliability… Apparently the prosecutors haven’t agreed to the April 11th date for the deposition.
