InfoWars host and political commentator Alex Jones has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, according to a court filing.

The filing comes two months after Jones was ordered to pay over $965 million in damages in his defamation trial over his false claims regarding the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting that took place in 2012. In November, Jones and his company Free Speech Systems were ordered to pay an additional $473 million to victims’ families and an FBI agent.
