Jones is currently on trial for allegedly defaming the parents of a 6-year-old boy who was killed in the 2012 mass shooting in Newton, Conn., by perpetuating false claims that the 2012 shooting didn’t happen and that no one died through his media company and website; the couple is seeking $150 million for defamation and emotional distress.
