Alex Jones
Jones spent years calling the 2012 school shooting fake. Connecticut's highest court has ruled he must pay around $1 billion to the families.
Jamie White, 36, was fatally shot in a parking lot in Austin, Texas, police said. Alex Jones said the killing "could've been a hit."
The Onion was named the winning bidder on Nov. 14 over a company affiliated with Jones.
The Onion's bid to buy conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars is scheduled to return to a Texas courtroom.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The Connecticut Appellate Court determined there's “sufficient evidence” to support the damages awarded to relatives of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre victims and an FBI agent.
After the sale was announced, Jones took to X, formerly Twitter, to gripe about the injustice of it all.
Jones' conspiracy theory media empire went on the auction block to help pay the Sandy Hook families he spent years defaming.
Jones confirmed The Onion's acquisition of Infowars in a social media video Thursday and said he planned to file legal challenges to stop it.
Infowars went on auction as part of a personal bankruptcy plan to pay the Sandy Hook families he defamed. The bidders of the auction will not be identified.
Alex Jones faces a court-ordered auction of Infowars' assets to help pay the $1 billion defamation judgment he owes families of victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting.
