Alex Jones’s security guard targeted by Capitol riot committee

A man employed as a security professional by Alex Jones, the controversial InfoWars host known for spreading wild conspiracy theories, has been targeted by the January 6 committee as part of its ongoing investigation into Mr Jones and the events of the attack on the Capitol.

In a court filing dated Tuesday, an attorney for Mr Jones requested that Timothy Enlow, the security guard, be added to Mr Jones’s lawsuit against the committee as he seeks to block it from obtaining his phone records. Mr Jones’s attorney alleges in the filing that Mr Enlow received a notice from his cell carrier last week informing him that a congressional subpoena for his phone data had been received, and that the committee’s decision to target Mr Enlow stemmed from a belief that he would not be able to mount the same kind of costly legal defence that Mr Jones is mounting.
