On Friday, a Justice Department official joined the families' fight, urging U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez to dismiss the federal bankruptcy filing by three companies linked to Jones and his InfoWars media system so the Sandy Hook defamation cases can return to state court for jury trials to determine how much Jones must pay in damage awards.
Jones wants to use the federal bankruptcy system to pay the Sandy Hook family members after state courts in Austin and Connecticut found that he defamed them by labeling the mass shooting, which left 20 children and six adults dead, a hoax meant to fuel a government campaign to limit gun rights.
