Alex Jones, Roger Stone among the latest to get Jan. 6 subpoenas

Fresno CA

Description

Alex Jones is no stranger to legal controversies. Just last week, as NBC News reported, the professional conspiracy was found liable for damages in lawsuits brought by parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre — a shooting Jones said was a "giant hoax." It was the fourth defamation lawsuit Jones has lost against Sandy Hook families. Roger Stone's legal controversies have been just as dramatic. Two years ago, a jury convicted the Republican operatives of multiple crimes, including obstruction, lying to investigators, and witness tampering. Last summer, before Stone could begin his 40-month prison sentence, Donald Trump commuted his sentence. It was among the most brazenly corrupt steps of Trump's term, featuring a then-president rescuing a convicted felon who lied on his behalf as part of a broader cover-up. A Washington Post editorial called Stone's commutation "one of the most nauseating instances of corrupt government favoritism the United States has ever seen."
