Alex Jones, a right-wing radio show host and conspiracy theorist, refused to answer questions from investigators from the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol riot.
Alex Jones is in Austin, Texas, for a protest on April 25, 2020. Gary Miller poses for a picture.
On his show, Jones said he didn't know the answers to about half of the questions and took the Fifth on the advice of his attorneys.
The committee has already obtained text messages between himself and Trump associates, including a former Trump campaign fundraiser who helped organize the January 6 rally, who Jones identified as his White House connection.
Jones did not enter the Capitol, but videos showed him making statements to the crowd of Trump supporters.
They already know that I didn't do anything, and they know that I'm not planning any violence.
Jones was subpoenaed by the House select committee on November 22 to testify about the Capitol riot. Jones initially said he wouldn't comply with the investigation, and even sued the committee to try to block it from obtaining records, but eventually testified. Dozens of former Trump officials, right-wing activists and extremists have been subpoenaed by the committee as part of its investigation into the Capitol attack. The Supreme Court rejected a request from Trump to block the National Archives from turning over hundreds of pages of White House documents as part of the investigation.
Jones said investigators asked if he had any associations with groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. After a rally at the Georgia State Capitol in November 2020, Jones saw Proud Boys drinking beer and eating cheeseburgers.
Text messages show the main role of a Trump campaign fundraiser.
