A federal judge has rejected the sale of Alex Jones’ Infowars to the satirical website, The Onion.
The late Tuesday ruling from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez comes after Jones claimed that a recent bankruptcy auction was fraught with illegal collusion.
The Onion was named the winning bidder last month over a company affiliated with Jones. Lopez's decision means Jones can stay at Infowars in Austin, Texas. The Onion had planned to kick Jones out and relaunch Infowars in January as a parody.
Lopez criticized the auction process as flawed and said the outcome "left a lot of money on the table" for victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
