New hearing ordered on The Onion’s bid for Alex Jones’ Infowars
SUMMARY
A bankruptcy judge has delayed a critical hearing in Alex Jones’ effort to block satirical outlet The Onion from acquiring Infowars, prolonging uncertainty over the sale. Jones alleges fraud and collusion in the auction process, claiming The Onion’s winning bid was unfairly favored over a higher offer from a company tied to him. The dispute centers on whether Jones can remain at Infowars’ Austin studio or face eviction under new ownership. Jones argues The Onion’s bid violated auction rules by involving Sandy Hook families forgiving proceeds to sway creditors, while the trustee defends the bid as beneficial. This fight follows Jones’ bankruptcy and $1.5 billion defamation judgment to Sandy Hook families. This fight follows Jones’ bankruptcy and $1.5 billion defamation judgment to Sandy Hook families. Another auction of Infowars assets is scheduled for Dec. 10 as the legal battle continues.
