Jones has not been criminally charged. He was named in an affidavit pursuant to a case filed as a relator action by a number of parties, including the Texas Republican Party.
The Texas Solicitor General's Office filed a letter in this case, which stated that the Texas statutes on which this case is premised were suspended by Gov. Abbott because of COVID-19 and that therefore the case is moot (no live case or controversy).
You could be right. It's a common tactic for adversaries to sabotage their enemies from within by inducing them to waste time and distract themselves with fruitless rabbit holes. Enemies want their adversaries to entertain themselves into irrelevant oblivion. They want to sidetrack a movement and also to discredit a movement by making it appear that falsifiable assertions sprout organically from within a movement (e.g., posting a misleading or false claim so that outsiders will think "Look at these rubes! They'll believe anything!").
