Alex Jones texted nude photo of his wife to Roger Stone

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones sent conservative political operative and former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone an “intimate photo” of his wife, the attorney representing families of Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre victims revealed, noting that he is element whether she gave consent to send the picture .

The alleged photo was mistakenly included in a cache of text messages and emails sent to the legal team that successfully sued Jones for defamation earlier this month, attorney Mark Bankston, the recipient of the leak, said on the progressive news commentary show the Young Turks this week.

Bankston said he was concerned that Jones’ wife, Erika Wulff Jones, didn’t give her husband permission to send the photograph.

“I don’t know if it was consensual,” said Bankston, who recently won nearly $50 million in damages for the parents of a child killed in the 2012 school shooting, which for years Jones called a hoax.

“And if it wasn’t consensual, Mrs. Wulff-Jones should know about that, and there might be something that needs to be done about that,” Bankston said in the interview.

Wulff-Jones told Insider on Tuesday that she was “unaware” her husband sent a nude photograph of her to Stone. She appeared uninterested in pursuing charges against her husband, Insider reported.

“I am upset that he took (the) privilege to send the image to someone without my knowledge,” Wulff-Jones, who married Jones in 2017, told Insider.

She added: “Honestly, I was unaware that this occurred. I’m sure this was some type of brag exchange, ‘look how hot my wife is’ type thing.”

Before Bankston appeared on the Young Turks on Monday, Jones had gone on a rant about the text messages shared by his attorneys on his show “Infowars.” Jones complained that those suing him had a nude photograph of his wife but did not say that he sent the image to Stone, who received a pardon from Trump that swept away his sentence related to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

Last week, a Texas jury ordered Jones to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages to Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, the parents whose 6-year-old son Jesse Lewis was among the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 attack in Newtown, Connecticut .

During the trial, Bankston revealed that Jones’ lawyers may have mistakenly sent a digital copy of his personal cellphone containing years worth of emails and text messages to his legal team. The text messages were important, Bankston said, because they showed that Jones perjured himself because they contradicted statements he made under oath that he did not discuss the Sandy Hook shooting on his cellphone.

During the trial, Bankston also said that he was prepared to make newsworthy messages public, adding that he would keep the most “intimate” messages out of the public eye and out of his “own sense of morality.”

The Jan. 6 The House Committee has reportedly requested Jones’ text messages and emails as part of its investigation into the insurrection, according to Rolling Stone. The committee subpoenaed Jones last year over his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the deadly Capitol riot.

Also included in the trove of text messages were sexually explicit photographs of Jones and messages from Infowars employees that claimed to have a “back channel to Ted Cruz” that allowed them to get “information directly” into the hands of the US Senator from Texas.
