Texas court slashes $50 million judgment against Infowars' Alex Jones, but other verdicts still stand August 21, 2026 / 12:18 PM EDT / AP Add CBS News on Google A Texas court on Friday slashed a $50 million judgment to $1.5 million against Infowars founder Alex Jones over falsely calling the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting a hoax. The ruling does not affect a $1.4 billion judgement against Jones in Connecticut, but is a significant legal victory for Jones after he and his company, Free Speech Systems, were found liable for damages for claiming the mass shooting didn't happen. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/infowars-alex-jones-texas-court-judgment/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us #News #US #Texas #Connecticut #Media #Free #Speech #Jones #Infowars
