After Wednesday’s revelation that an attorney for Alex Jones accidentally turned over a copy of his entire cellphone to the lawyers suing him on behalf of Sandy Hook parents, a couple of things were obvious.
The first was that Alex Jones must be turning redder than ever; the second was that the Congressional committee holding hearings on the January 6 insurrection would probably want those records, too.
Reynal was required to cite specific privileged documents within 10 days, he said, and state why they were privileged and confidential.
Judge Gamble did order some data deleted—namely, confidential psychiatric records for nine plaintiffs, all Sandy Hook parents—in another case.
Gamble then asked which specific law enforcement agencies wanted the phone data, and Bankston confirmed the January 6 committee.
Jones testified before the committee earlier this year, and Rolling Stone reported yesterday that the committee immediately began preparing a subpoena for his phone data after learning it existed.
Reynal got in one more parting shot before the hearing ended, accusing Bankston of “rooting around” in privileged attorney-client communications stored on the phone. »
