InfoWars conspiracy theorist and Roger Stone ally Alex Jones stepped up his attacks on the jury at Stoneâs trial on Tuesday, broadcasting the name and face of a woman he claimed was a juror at the trial and calling her a âminionâ of anti-Trump forces.
âWeâve got her name, and weâre going to release it,â Jones said on his InfoWars broadcast, before revealing a womanâs name and putting her face on the screen behind him.
Later in the broadcast, Jones and his attorney were joined by a person dressed as the Grim Reaper and wielding a sickle. Stone hosted a show broadcast on InfoWars until recently, and Jones and his employees have frequently attacked the judge in Stoneâs case, Judge Amy Berman Jackson.
Jonesâ attacks on the jury were based on reporting that the first potential juror in the case was a former Obama administration employee in the Office of Management and Budget whose husband works for the Department of Justice. But in his rush to attack the potential juror as a deep-state plant, Jones appears to have gotten the wrong person.
During his broadcast, Jones didnât show a picture of the actual potential juror, who, despite his claims, didnât make it onto the jury anyway. Instead, he showed a picture of another former OMB staffer who appears to be totally unrelated to the Stone trial.
This wasnât Jonesâ first attack on the juryâor his first that implied a threat to launch his legions of harassing fans at any jurors who find Stone guilty on witness tampering and obstruction charges. On Monday, he tried to convince political operative and close Stone associate Jacob Engels to name the juror, reading a list of names of former Obama administration officials and attempting to have Engels confirm which one was on the jury.
Meanwhile, Owen Shroyer, an InfoWars employee who used to host a show with Stone, has been broadcasting live from outside the Washington, D.C., courthouse where Stone is being tried.
Jones is facing a number of legal issues of his own, including lawsuits filed by the families of Sandy Hook massacre victims who say Jonesâ baseless claims that the shooting was faked provoked waves of harassment and death threats against them.
