Why Alex Jones's offer was rejected by Sandy Hook families

According to court filings, the InfoWars host offered each of the 13 plaintiffs the six-figure settlement on Tuesday after a judge ruled in November that he must pay damages to the families of the murdered children for repeatedly spreading false claims about the 2012 mass shooting which left 26 people, including 20 children, dead.

“Mr. Jones extends his heartfelt apology for any distress his remarks caused,” the filings submitted in a Connecticut court state.

In separate filings, each of the families rejected Jones’ offer while providing the same response.

“The so-called offer is a transparent and desperate attempt by Alex Jones to escape a public reckoning under oath with his deceitful, profit-driven campaign against the plaintiffs and the memory of their loved ones lost at Sandy Hook,” the families said.
