A Texas courtroom is set to revisit the bid by satirical news outlet The Onion to purchase Alex Jones' conspiracy theory platform Infowars. The hearing, scheduled for Monday, will focus on whether the bankruptcy auction was conducted fairly amid allegations of collusion and fraud raised by Jones.
Infowars' sale is part of Jones' personal bankruptcy case, initiated in late 2022 following defamation lawsuits totaling nearly $1.5 billion from Sandy Hook shooting victims' families. Jones had previously claimed the tragic 2012 incident was a hoax orchestrated to promote gun control.
