Alex Jones has offered to pay $120K per plaintiff to resolve a lawsuit by relatives of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims who say he defamed them by asserting the massacre never happened, court filings show.
The court filings posted online said: “Mr. Jones extends his heartfelt apology for any distress his remarks caused.”
Last week Jones defied a court order to attend a deposition near his home in Austin, Texas, to provide testimony ahead of the trial. Jones said he was ill.
Twenty first graders and six educators were killed in the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The families of eight of the victims and an FBI agent who responded to the school sued Jones, Infowars and others in Connecticut over the hoax conspiracy. Jones has since said he believes the shooting did occur.
