Alex Jones

Rumours spread on social media after a fire broke out at a derelict 19th Century church.

Judge Christopher Lopez ruled that an auction for Infowars did not result in the best bids possible.

Infowars was auctioned as part of a defamation ruling after Jones falsely called the Sandy Hook School shooting a hoax.

The conspiracy theorist used his website to peddle false claims about the Sandy Hook shooting.

But a bankruptcy judge spares Infowars from being liquidated to pay the broadcaster's $1.5bn defamation debt.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has asked a Texas court to allow him to liquidate his assets as part of bankruptcy proceedings.

The conspiracy theorist was banned from Twitter - now X - but its owner has now reinstated him.

Relatives of the victims are willing to accept a fraction of the nearly $1.5bn they won in legal judgements.
