Attorneys for the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims have asked the court to liquidate Alex Jones’s media company, citing his alleged failure to come up with a reorganization plan.

Mr. Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems (FSS), filed for bankruptcy in December 2022 after being ordered to pay about $1.5 billion in damages for questioning whether the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, was an orchestrated hoax perpetrated by crisis actors to push gun control laws.
