A Texas judge pushed back a trial involving Infowars host Alex Jones that was supposed to start on Monday.
The delay in the defamation trial was announced Wednesday, as three of Jones’s companies seek bankruptcy protection in federal court, according to the Associated Press.
“As soon as I do get a remand (from bankruptcy court) I will be resetting this trial,” Judge Maya Guerra Gamble said. “We are going to go to trial as soon as I possibly can.”

Monday’s trial was set to determine how much Jones would have to pay the family of one of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting. Jones lost multiple defamation suits over his claims that the shooting was a false flag operation.
Wednesday’s postponement was the second trial delayed this week. A Connecticut judge postponed a trial that will determine how much Jones must pay an FBI agent and eight other families involved in the shooting.
Jones denied Infowars was broke on Tuesday after filing for bankruptcy earlier in the week, saying the radio program and two other businesses he owns filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection so the companies can pay creditors.
Infowars, IWHealth, and Prison Planet TV all filed for bankruptcy protection on Sunday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, according to documents viewed by the Washington Examiner. Infowars claimed in the filing that it has assets of $0 to $50,000 and liabilities of $1,000,001 to $10 million.

Jones has been dealing with several lawsuits over his claims regarding the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting. He was found guilty by default in four lawsuits due to his unwillingness to hand over requested documents.
The Infowars host initially faced increasing fines over his decision to continue skipping his depositions. However, the court refunded those fines last week.
