Infowars’ Alex Jones has indicated to federal prosecutors that he is ready to share what he knows about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, but it comes with a price. Before divulging his knowledge, Jones wants legal immunity.

On Wednesday, it was reported that Jones reached out to prosecutors at the Department of Justice through his attorney in order to set up a voluntary interview related to the 2021 Capitol riot.

His lawyer, Norm Pattis, insists Jones did not commit any crimes but nonetheless offered to share details about any role he played in organizing the "Stop the Steal" rally that transformed into the historic assault on the U.S. Capitol Building. But before Jones shares any additional information with the DOJ, he wants immunity from potential prosecution.

The rally was organized by supporters of former President Donald Trump and was centered around his debunked claims that the November 2020 presidential election was rigged in favor of his successor, President Joe Biden. Jones attended the event that preceded the attack and he became a prominent mouthpiece for Trump’s election fraud conspiracy theories.

If Jones does speak to federal investigators about Jan. 6, it is uncertain what useful information he may provide even if he is granted immunity. In January, Jones spoke to the House committee investigating the Capitol Riot and "pleaded the fifth" over 100 times, by his own account.

Jones is already facing mounting legal problems related to his promotion of conspiracy theories around the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newport, Conn.

On Monday, Jones and his Infowars site, a platform widely accused of spreading baseless far-right conspiracy theories, filed for bankruptcy amid the weight of lawsuits against it and Jones for spreading misinformation.
