Alex Jones, the conservative firebrand ordered to pay more than $1 billion to families of Sandy Hook shooting victims, will ask a Texas bankruptcy judge Monday to force the bankrupt parent of Infowars to fully honor his $1.3 million annual salary.
The radio host has been receiving less than half of his previous Infowars salary of $54,000 every two weeks since parent company Free Speech Systems LLC filed for Chapter 11 protection in July. Jones will argue to the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas that Free Speech should be required to pay his salary in full as a condition of the company’s request to continue spending money while in bankruptcy, he said in a Dec. 16 court filing.
