Live updates: Alex Jones' latest defamation trial kicks off as a judge punished him for not handing over web data

  • Alex Jones' second of three defamation trials kicked off Tuesday.
  • This damages trial will determine how much he has to pay to the parents of Sandy Hook victims.

InfoWars host Alex Jones faces another defamation lawsuit in Connecticut this month to determine how much he must pay the families of Sandy Hook victims.

This is the second of three trials Jones will face over claims of defamation for his coverage of the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, during which he touted lies about the Sandy Hook massacre on his show — specifically calling it a "hoax."

Jones has already been found liable in the trial, which will now set how much he owes the families.

And a Texas jury already ordered Jones last month to pay nearly $50 million to the parents of Jesse Williams, a Sandy Hook victim.
