Alex Jones was reprimanded by a Texas judge for speaking with reporters.
Jones was told by the District Judge that they were not going to have that again.
Jones is accused of making false statements about Sandy Hook.
Alex Jones was reprimanded by a Texas judge for speaking to reporters during a break in his trial.
"We are not going to have that again," the district court judge said.
If there is a member of the jury in sight, every participant in this trial is ordered to be silent.
Jones was interacting with the media during a short break in his trial. Jones objected to the proceedings as a violation of his rights.
He said that the court was a political action and that he would return later.
The first day of Jones' defamation trial is Tuesday.
Jones is being sued by the parents of a Sandy Hook victim for making false claims.
Jones has been found guilty of defamation in both Texas and Connecticut.
An attorney for the parents of a boy killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre told jurors on Tuesday that they should force Jones to pay $150 million in damages.
The parents of Jesse Lewis, one of the 26 people killed in the school shooting, were harassed by Jones because of his "disgusting series of lies", according to Mark Bankston.
The attorney called the amount he is seeking "one that will do justice to the level of harm done in this case - harm that was done to the grieving parents of murdered children who have had to endure for 10 years the most despicable and vile campaign of defamation in American history"
F. Andino Reynal acknowledged in his opening statements that his client and InfoWars covered the Sandy Hook shooting with a slant that children were really murdered, but that there's a government cover-up.
Jones apologized for the coverage he gave to Sandy Hook and regretted what he had done, according to the jury testimony.
