Alex Jones

Jones has already lost the defamation suits, but juries will decide how much he should pay the families.

The parents have argued that Jones filed for bankruptcy to evade the upcoming trials and avoid paying the families.

Attorneys of four Sandy Hook parents filed a motion in federal court to have Jones’ bankruptcy filings dismissed.

The federal U.S. Trustee Program, which oversees bankruptcy claims, said the cases may be an abuse of the bankruptcy system.

Judge Barbara Bellis in Waterbury ordered the return of the money Thursday, because Jones eventually did show at a rescheduled deposition last week.

The families said Jones hid $18 million in assets after they began taking him to court over his claims the shooting was a hoax. They said he moved the money to shell companies owned by his parents, his children and himself.

He now admits that the school shooting did occur but he said that the parents and powerful Democrat law firms are trying to silence him and shut down InfoWars and other independent outlets.

Relatives of some of the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut, massacre sued Jones for defamation after he said the shooting never happened.

Judge Barbara Bellis is fining Jones $25,000 per weekday, beginning last Friday. The fines increase by $25,000 each weekday until he appears at a deposition.

Attorneys for InfoWars host Alex Jones say he’ll finally sit for a deposition in a defamation lawsuit filed against him by families of victims killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Jones was sued in 2018 by the families for making false claims about the shooting. Though Jones has already been found liable for defamation, the case continues as a jury still needs to determine how much Jones owes in damages.
