A longtime Trump ally, Stone repeatedly spread the then-president's unsubstantiated claims of election fraud. He helped to plan and spoke at the Stop the Steal rallies while cozying up to extremists who later stormed the Capitol.

Jones, whose Sandy Hook defamation-damages trial is now wrapping up in his hometown of Austin, Texas, had an even larger bullhorn, using Infowars to spread Trump's call to fight the "stolen" election to his millions of listeners.

As the New York Times reported in March, Jones then helped secure at least $650,000 in funding for the DC rallies that were quickly planned in response to Trump's calls to action.

On the eve of the riot, Jones was there at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel, the command center where key Trump allies including Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, and John Eastman met to strategize. And on January 6 itself, Jones marched from the Ellipse to the Capitol alongside fellow far-right provocateur Ali Alexander.
