Families of Sandy Hook victims who sued Alex Jones for calling the 2012 Connecticut school shooting a hoax resolved their disputes on Monday over how to divide the broadcaster’s assets, which are being liquidated in a federal bankruptcy court.

Jones declared bankruptcy in 2022 after courts in Connecticut and Texas ruled in favor of the families in their defamation claims. Most of the proceeds from the sale of his Infowars media company, along with his personal assets being sold, will be used to pay the families.
