陪审团周四裁定，亚历克斯·琼斯被判向桑迪胡克父母支付400多万美元的赔偿金。

这位阴谋论者和Infowars的创始人成功地被一名6岁男孩的父母起诉，这名男孩在2012年桑迪胡克小学大屠杀中丧生，此前他声称枪击事件——20名儿童和6名成人被杀——是一场骗局，他说他现在认为这一说法是“100%真实的”。

这对父母起诉琼斯，要求赔偿1.5亿美元。预计周五将对惩罚性赔偿做出判决。

代表桑迪·胡克家族的律师周四在法庭上表示，他打算向众议院调查委员会提交琼斯两年的短信，这些短信是琼斯的律师无意中提供给他的。

“我被要求交出它们。我当然打算这样做，除非你告诉我不要这样做，”马克·班克斯顿告诉法官，他说1月6日委员会要求他交出他们。

一位知情人士还告诉美国广播公司新闻，该委员会和班克斯顿一直在接触接收信息。

周四，陪审团在琼斯的诽谤审判中做出了决定。

班克斯顿显示周三，琼斯的律师错误地给他发送了两年的短信。

班克斯顿提到了“与罗杰·斯通的亲密信息”，他说这些信息不是“机密”或“商业秘密”。他说，“各种联邦机构和执法部门”就这些信息联系了他。

班克斯顿说:“这些文件从来没有受到保护。”

Alex Jones ordered to pay Sandy Hook parents more than $4M

Alex Jones has been ordered to pay more than $4 million in compensatory damages to Sandy Hook parents, a jury ordered Thursday.

The conspiracy theorist and Infowars founder was successfully sued by the parents of a 6-year-old boy who was killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre after he claimed that the shooting -- where 20 children and six adults were killed -- was a hoax, a claim he said he now thinks is "100% real."

The parents sued Jones for $150 million. A verdict on punitive damages is expected Friday.

A lawyer representing the Sandy Hook families had said in court on Thursday that he intends to hand over two years' worth of Jones' text messages to the House committee investigating Jan. 6, after they were inadvertently provided to him by Jones' lawyers.

"I've been asked to turn them over. I certainly intend to do that unless you tell me not to," Mark Bankston told the judge, saying he's been asked by the Jan. 6 committee to turn them over.

A source familiar with the matter also told ABC News that the committee and Bankston have been in touch about receiving the messages.

A jury made the determination in Jones' defamation trial Thursday.

BankstonrevealedWednesday that Jones' lawyers mistakenly sent him two years' worth of text messages.

Bankston referenced "intimate messages with Roger Stone" that he said were not "confidential" or "trade secrets." He said that "various federal agencies and law enforcement" contacted him about the information.

"There has been no protection ever asserted over these documents," Bankston said.
