A Texas judge reprimanded far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for speaking to reporters during a break in his Sandy Hook defamation trial on Tuesday.
"We're not going to have that again," District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble told Jones.
CNN reporter Oliver Darcy reported that Gamble continued: "Every participant in this trial ... is ordered to be silent out of this courtroom, or if there is any member of the jury in sight."
Bridget Spencer, a reporter for local station WAPP, tweeted a video showing Jones interacting with the media during a short break in his trial. Jones railed against the court proceedings as a violation of his First Amendment rights.
"This is a kangaroo court, this is a political action, it's a witch hunt I'll be back later," he continued, before he was ushered away.
