A US judge has approved the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ personal assets to partially repay the $1.5 billion in damages he owes families affected by the Sandy Hook school shooting. However, the parent company of his far-right website InfoWars, known for spreading misinformation, was spared liquidation and will remain in operation.
