The Onion’s winning bid for Alex Jones’ Infowars platform is under review by a federal bankruptcy judge after Jones and his lawyers raised concerns about how an auction was conducted. The satirical news outlet was announced Thursday as the winning bidder of Infowars at a bankruptcy auction. Hours later, Infowars headquarters in Austin, Texas and its websites were shut down and Jones was broadcasting from a new studio he had set up before the bankruptcy auction. By Friday morning, Infowars and its websites were back up and running for reasons that are not entirely clear. The bankruptcy judge plans to hold a hearing next week on what happened with the auction.
