HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Infowars host Alex Jones has failed to show up for a deposition in a lawsuit filed by relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Jones missed the deposition in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday, with his lawyers citing a medical appointment. Families of some of the school shooting victims are suing Jones for calling the massacre a hoax. A Connecticut judge on Wednesday ordered Jones to appear at the deposition on Thursday. The families’ lawyer is asking the judge to order Jones’ arrest if he fails to show up again. Jones’ lawyer says Jones’ doctors will make the call on whether he will attend the deposition Thursday.
