Infowars host Alex Jones admits Sandy Hook killings were real, blames 'psychosis' for his conspiracy claims

Alex Jones, the firebrand Infowars host and conspiracy peddler says in a sworn deposition that his false statements after the Sandy Hook killings were caused by a "psychosis."

Jones made the claim in response to a defamation lawsuit brought by family members of the victims of the 2012 massacre.

He faces eight lawsuits over his comments about the tragedy, including conspiracy theories that the shooting, that left 27 people dead, including 20 children, was a staged event and that parents of the victims lied about the deaths.
