Alex Jones' Infowars files for bankruptcy after defamation suits
Companies owned by US radio host Alex Jones, including his right-wing website InfoWars, have filed for bankruptcy.
The move comes as he fights defamation suits brought by families of those killed in a 2012 school shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school.
Mr Jones, who falsely claimed the shooting was a hoax, has been ordered to pay damages in the lawsuits.
Those efforts will be complicated by his decision to seek protection from creditors in bankruptcy court.
