After being sued for defamation over his claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary mass shooting was a “false flag” or government-funded hoax, Infowars’ Alex Jones has admitted that he believes the massacre did happen.

“For years I’ve said I believed [the children shot at Sandy Hook] died,” Jones said in an Infowars interview with Trump confidante Roger Stone. “The lawsuit says I just said that, I haven’t said that.”

Defending himself against the lawsuit which he claims is really about liberal Jewish megadonor and Holocaust survivor George Soros being a “Nazi collaborator,” Jones claimed that “years ago, I played devil’s advocate and said I can see how the government lied about babies in incubators and all the rest of it.”
