Alex Jones is the middle of a bankruptcy process. Both he and his Infowars business have gone into Chapter 11 hoping to get some relief from the many lawsuits they have lost. He has pled poverty because his actions and the anguish he has caused dozens of people have led to well-earned settlements against him that total almost $1.5 billion.

Jones is also not necessarily out of the woods legally. Over the summer of 2022, during Jones’ Sandy Hook defamation trial, a slew of his personal texts were released to Sandy Hook attorneys. While superficially embarrassing on the one hand, there was a more material consequence: It allowed the House of Representatives’ Jan. 6 committee the chance to subpoena those texts in their investigations.

What the committee believed they might be able to find has been the subject of much speculation since Jones and his Infowars show made a recent career of platforming so many of the mouthpieces of the insurgency. On Thursday a new report came out about one of the more disturbing things detailed in the Jones’ bankruptcy filings.
