"Hatewatch has broken the messages down into multiple parts, reporting out what they tell us about the divide between Jones’ performance on Infowars and his private life, the network of pro-Trump influencers and extremists within which he operates, and the way he makes money off his fans. The texts offer insight into Jones and Infowars but also tell a bigger story – one about the profitable but destructive business of selling bigotry and disinformation to Americans.

Attorney Mark Bankston of Farrar & Ball LLP, turned the text messages over to Hatewatch in September on a not-for-publication basis, to aid Hatewatch’s mission of analyzing extremist networks. On Jan. 31, Hatewatch received word that a redacted copy of the messages entered the public record, enabling the publication of this series.

Bankston sent Hatewatch a statement Wednesday after the texts became public record: “A redacted copy of Mr. Jones’ text messages was included as an exhibit in a recent court filing. Over the past week, on three separate occasions, my law firm invited Mr. Jones’ lawyers to obtain a sealing order under Texas Rule 76(a)(5) to protect any confidential information in that exhibit, which we did not oppose. For unknown reasons, Mr. Jones’ lawyers declined our offer and chose not to take any steps to prevent these messages from entering the public record.”
