Like I told you, most of this stuff I cant even remember, Jones says about the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting at one point in a video deposition released to HuffPost.
The deposition, which was released publicly on Friday, shows Jones in the hot seat as he attempts to explain his reasoning for spending years falsely claiming that the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut ― which left 20 children and six adults dead ― was a hoax. He is being sued by nine family members of loved ones who died in the shooting, including Scarlett Lewis, who is suing Jones for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Lewis is represented by Mark Bankston of the Texas law firm Farrar & Ball. HuffPost has also included the full transcript.

(82,849 posts)I mean, sure, I'm needlessly cruel and I delight in making grieving parents feel even worse about the horrific murder of their children, but I don't mean nothin' by it. I can't help it if the people who listen to me pile on as well; who knew I had any influence or authority in the pathetic lives of my loser listeners? You can't hold me responsible for my career and what I say! How is that even fair? I ask you?

Given practical support and visibility by Mr. Jones, Mr. Halbig hounded families of the victims and other residents of Newtown, and promoted a baseless tale that Avielle Richman, a first grader killed at Sandy Hook, was still alive.
The deposition and its details about Mr. Joness operation and his interactions with Mr. Halbig was made public on Friday, days after Avielle Richmans father, Jeremy Richman, killed himself in Newtowns Edmond Town Hall, where Avielle Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to brain science that the family established in their daughters name, had an office.....
The heightened profile Mr. Halbig gained through Mr. Jones and his skepticism about mass shootings drew him into the orbit of the National Rifle Association, as well. On Feb. 15, 2018, the day after 17 people died in a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., Mark Richardson, a program officer for the N.R.A., emailed Mr. Halbig to stir doubts about the facts of the shooting, according to a document in the Texas lawsuit that was first reported by HuffPost.
Referring to Sandy Hook, Mr. Richardson wrote to Mr. Halbig that there is so much more to this story, wrongly speculating in the message that the Parkland shooter was not alone.
