Alex Jones Sues Sandy Hook Parents, The Onion to Stop Infowars Sale

Jones dismisses the $1.75 million winning bid as ‘nonsense’ because it was half of what the backup bidder offered.

Alex Jones is suing to block the sale of his Infowars media company to satirical newspaper The Onion, which emerged as the winning bidder in a bankruptcy auction last week.

In a complaint filed late on Nov. 18, the broadcaster asked a federal bankruptcy court in Texas to disqualify The Onion’s bid and instead recognize First United American Companies LLC—operator of Jones’s online supplement store—as the rightful winner of the auction.
