Overview
The Justice Department halted an inquiry into ex-FBI agent Aldenberg's role in the Alex Jones Sandy Hook defamation lawsuit, investigating potential federal law violations for financial benefits.
Aldenberg testified emotionally in the 2022 Connecticut trial about discovering deceased children at Sandy Hook, contributing to the $1.4 billion judgment against Alex Jones.
Alex Jones falsely claimed the 2012 Newtown school shooting, killing 20 children and six educators, was a hoax, leading to threats against victims' families.
The inquiry is linked to the Justice Department's "weaponization working group," led by Martin, who is also investigating Trump's claims of anti-conservative bias.
Jones, who filed for bankruptcy in late 2022, is appealing the judgment to the Supreme Court, while plaintiffs seek to liquidate Infowars' assets.
