Alex Jones Seeks Supreme Court Stay of $1.5 Billion Sandy Hook Judgment

The justices will privately consider his emergency request on Friday.

Overview

  • Jones filed an emergency application asking the Court to pause enforcement while it weighs whether to take his appeal.
  • His lawyers warn InfoWars could be transferred to The Onion without a freeze, saying the site would be “destroyed.”
  • Jones’ counsel says a new effort in Texas state court aims to acquire InfoWars to satisfy the Connecticut judgment.
  • A bankruptcy judge rejected The Onion’s prior attempt to buy InfoWars last December after a court-ordered auction.
  • The Connecticut award totals roughly $1.4–$1.5 billion, and Jones also faces a nearly $50 million Texas judgment tied to his Sandy Hook claims.
