Alex Jones is on trial for defaming.
Jones said that he did not have text messages related to Sandy Hook.
Jones' lawyer sent a digital copy of his phone to the lawyer for the other side.
Alex Jones may have been caught lying under oath after a lawyer representing Sandy Hook parents revealed that the Infowars founder's attorney accidentally sent a copy of his phone contents back two years.
During the defamation trial over his false claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, Jones was in the spotlight.
While Jones was on the stand, Mark Bankston, the lawyer representing the parents of a boy killed in the Sandy Hook massacre confronted Jones and revealed that he knew Jones was lying.
Bankston said his attorneys messed up and sent him a digital copy of his cell phone. You lied to me when you said you didn't have text messages.
Jones was flustered and defensive when Bankston questioned him.

Jones maintained that he told the truth.
Jones said that he didn't see the text messages mentioning Sandy Hook and that he gave everything he had to his lawyer.
Bankston asked what perjury was.
The parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, who was killed in the mass shooting, sued Jones and his media company for defamation over his false statements about the massacre.
During the trial, the parents testified that they had suffered years of torment and harassment due to Jones telling his audience that the Sandy Hook shooting was a fake.
Jones said that the mass shooting was definitely real.
The Texas court found him liable for defamation for his depiction of the rampage, which was the worst school shooting in American history.
Jones is being sued for $150 million in damages by Heslin and Lewis.
