The Onion Acquires Infowars

The deal was made in cooperation with the families of Sandy Hook victims, who were awarded over $1 billion in compensation from Jones.

The Onion's proposal involves licensing the company as it faces court-ordered liquidation.

A Texas judge is expected to weigh in on the takeover, which would effectively end Jones's control over his media empire.

The move has been hailed as a significant victory for the families who have fought for years to hold Jones accountable for his false claims.
