Alex Jones
Chris Mattei, an attorney for the Sandy Hook families, said in a statement that the court “has now affirmed the jury’s historic and just rebuke of Alex Jones.”
The Infowars host has been ordered to pay some $1.5 billion for lying to his audience about the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre.
"How happy is Adidas today?" quipped talk show host a month after the company severed its relationship with Ye over previous antisemitic comments.
During a disturbing interview with Alex Jones, Ye said he would give the Infowars host the reins to his Twitter account.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
"Can something not age well before it’s even put in to the world," Crain's Chicago Business editor Marcus Gilmer mused.
The tweet was removed during an Infowars broadcast where Ye told Alex Jones, “We got to stop dissing Nazis all the time.”
The rap mogul praised the genocidal Nazi dictator while wearing a black mask covering his entire head and face.
Judge Barabara Bellis imposed the punitive damages on Jones for repeatedly telling his millions of followers the Sandy Hook massacre was staged by “crisis actors."
A Connecticut jury last month ordered Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, to pay $965 million to the Sandy Hook families.
Jones filed the requests Friday, saying Judge Barbara Bellis’ pretrial rulings resulted in an unfair trial and “a substantial miscarriage of justice.”
