Robert Barnes told Breitbart News on Monday that he and his legal team are suing Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM), Reza Aslan, Matthew Dowd, Kathy Griffin, Maggie Haberman, Ana Navarro, and other news media figures for defamation on behalf of eight students from Covington, KY.

"They did nothing racist. They weren't taunting, harassing anyone," attorney Robert Barnes said on "The Story." "They had no idea that they would have this social media lynch mob led by people like Maggie Haberman, a lead political reporter for The New York Times, or Senator Elizabeth Warren [D-Mass.] ... both of whom refused to delete or correct or retract or issue any apology for their false statements about these kids."

Robert Barnes is a civil, criminal and constitutional lawyer who has represented high profile clients from Alex Jones to the Covington Kids. He joins Dave to discuss his legal approach to free speech, mob mentality, his Alex Jones case, and more.

In the thick of South by Southwest, Alex Jones is scheduled to be deposed for four hours next Thursday at a downtown law office by attorneys for a Sandy Hook parent suing him for intentional infliction of emotional distress for years of characterizing the 2012 Connecticut school shooting as a hoax.
