Infowars host Alex Jones was ordered by a Connecticut judge to start paying fines for failing to appear at a deposition in a civil lawsuit filed by families of Sandy Hook school shooting victims.
Jones’ vow to attend a deposition April 11
"Mr. Jones’ doctors thought his conditions were serious enough to require emergency medical care and that they rendered precautionary advice that included a recommendation that he go to the emergency room immediately," said Jones' lawyer, Cameron Atkinson, during Thursday's hearing on the stay request.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs, who are suing Jones for saying the Sandy Hook mass shooting was a hoax, said he defied doctors' orders by appearing on his show March 21-23.
