InfoWars founder Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $100,000 to the plaintiff in a defamation case.

Four cases have been brought against Jones in Texas by parents of children killed in the mass shooting that took place in 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Jones has previously claimed the shooting was a hoax set up by the government.
