A company affiliated with Alex Jones' Infowars is asking a federal judge to disqualify a bid by The Onion.

The Onion was the only other bidder at the recent bankruptcy auction, offering US$3.5 million .

Jones filed bankruptcy in 2022 after he was ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion in defamation lawsuits filed by the families of Sandy Hook victims.

The Onion planned to turn Infowars website into a parody site, taking aim at conspiracy theorists and other social media personalities.

The trustee allegedly changed the auction process “from a live auction to a secret process,” Cicack said.

He alleged Murray violated the auction rules by not holding a round of live bidding on Nov. 13 .
