Alex Jones asks Supreme Court to halt $1.5 billion judgment in Sandy Hook defamation case

Jones seeks to delay enforcement of the $1.5 billion judgment as his InfoWars site faces transfer to The Onion amid ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.

  • Alex Jones filed with the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to pause an almost $1.5 billion defamation judgment while his lawyers ask justices to consider his appeal.
  • The December 2012 Sandy Hook shooting killed 20 first‑grade children and six adults, prompting families of the Sandy Hook victims to sue and win a Connecticut state court judgment.
  • Jones, who owns InfoWars through Free Speech Systems, has lost state-court appeals and is pursuing bankruptcy protections to shield assets amid the judgment.
  • In filings, Jones said InfoWars is at risk of being turned over to The Onion, and his lawyers warned `InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed.`
  • The court is scheduled to discuss the appeal in private on Friday, shaping whether InfoWars survives or is transferred amid Texas state court auction and bankruptcy proceedings.
