- Relatives of the Sandy Hook shooting victims have rejected Alex Jones' settlement offer of $120,000 per plaintiff.
- The relatives said the offer was an attempt by Jones to "escape public reckoning."
- Jones had baselessly claimed the school shooting was a hoax and that the families involved were "actors."
Jones had on Tuesday offered each of the 13 plaintiffs a settlement sum of $120,000, according to court filings seen by Insider. "Mr. Jones extends his heartfelt apology for any distress his remarks caused," the offers read.
Lawyers for the relatives subsequently filed to reject Jones' offers on Wednesday, with the filing calling them "a transparent and desperate attempt by Alex Jones to escape a public reckoning under oath with his deceitful, profit-driven campaign against the plaintiffs and the memory of their loved ones lost at Sandy Hook."
Jones, a far-right conspiracy theorist, had baselessly claimed that the Sandy Hook shooting was a "giant hoax" staged with "crisis actors" as a ploy to support opposition to the Second Amendment. Six teachers and 20 first-graders were killed by a 20-year-old gunman in the tragedy at the school in Newton, Connecticut.

Alex Jones would be wise to convert his bank account to gold on bury the gold.
He'll never be free from this lawsuit.
They'll never shut him up either but Brandon might want him killed.
