Prominent American conspiracy theorist and Infowars host has admitted the shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012 was not a hoax during a defamation trial brought against him by parents of the victims. 'It’s 100% real,' Alex Jones repeated as lawyers pressed him. Asked by his lawyer whether he now understood it was 'absolutely irresponsible' to push the false claim that the Sandy Hook shooting did not happen, Jones said he did, but added: 'They [the media] won’t let me take it back.'
