Alex Jones sent nude photo of wife to Roger Stone, Sandy Hook lawyer reveals

Picture was among cache of messages inadvertently handed over by Infowars host's lawyer to opposition legal team

Lawyers for the notorious American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones accidentally gave his legal adversaries a nude photo of his wife that he had texted to the conservative political operative Roger Stone, an attorney involved in the matter has acknowledged.

The seemingly farcical - but entirely true - development was the latest bit of fallout since one of the attorneys for a family suing Jones for defamation revealed last week that Jones's own lawyer had inadvertently handed over numerous text messages belonging to the far-right provocateur and then failed to take steps to keep them out of court.
