Alex Jones ordered to liquidate assets
Conspiracy theorist and "Infowars" host Alex Jones was ordered Friday by a federal judge in Texas to liquidate his personal assets in order to pay the approximately $1.5 billion in damages he owes the families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting who sued him over his false claims that the shooting was a hoax. Omar Villafranca has the latest.
