A lawyer representing two parents who sued conspiracy theorist Alex Jones over his false claims about the Sandy Hook massacre has said the US House January 6 committee has requested two years of records from Jones’s phone.

Mark Bankston said in court that the committee investigating the attack on the US Capitol requested the digital records.
