PLOT TWIST: Alex Jones Fights Back, Sues The Onion and Sandy Hook Families Over ‘Rigged’ Auction of Infowars

Alex Jones sued The Onion and Sandy Hook families over the ‘rigged’ auction of Infowars.

As previously reported, The Onion purchased Infowars in a bankruptcy auction on Thursday with plans to turn it into a satire website — but the judge overseeing the case has ordered a hearing into how the satire website won.

The legal team representing Jones has alleged that the auction was rigged at the last minute to allow The Onion to win — despite a seven-figure bid from Infowars allies.

Alex Jones is seeking an injunction.

The Wall Street Journal reported:

In a lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston, attorneys for Jones alleged that several Sandy Hook families and the Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, submitted an illegitimate bid for the assets of Infowars’ parent company and planned to misuse his intellectual property.

The Onion said last week it was buying Infowars with the support of the Sandy Hook families after a trustee overseeing the sale of the assets designated Global Tetrahedron and the families as the winning bidder. The Onion said it plans to relaunch Infowars as another satirical site, enlisting gun-control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety as an advertiser.

First United American Companies, a runner-up bidder associated with Jones’s new online store, ShopAlexJones.com, filed a request last week for a judge to review the trustee’s decision. The judge, Christopher Lopez, expressed some concerns about the transparency of the hearing process and ordered a hearing to review the sale, which can’t be closed until it is approved. The hearing is scheduled to take place next week.

Alex Jones weighed in on the new development:
