(CNN)Conspiracy theorist and right-wing provocateur Alex Jones says he will not comply with demands the House select committee investigating January 6 has made for his testimony and records, according to a new lawsuit he filed on Monday.
The lawsuit seeks to block the subpoenas and claims Jones should be protected under the First Amendment. He says that he will also decline to answer questions so as not to incriminate himself.
(The first amendment does allow him to say whatever he wants, but it doesn't protect him from the consequences that result from his "free speech". For instance inciting a riot would not be protected, as the riot would be a consequence of "free speech".)
