Alex Jones Ordered To Pay Sandy Hook Parents More Than $4M

A Texas jury awarded a $4.1 million judgment against Alex Jones for defamation. Jones, a conspiracy theorist, is sued by the parents of Jesse Lewis, a Sandy Hook victim, for promoting falsehoods that led to harassment. In court, Jones faced tough questioning, and his text messages were mistakenly shared with the opposing side, now sought by the January 6th committee. Despite a lower compensation than sought, the family is pleased and anticipates punitive damages. Jones faces another lawsuit in Connecticut.
