Alex Jones, a far-right conspiracy theorist, was ordered to pay $1.4 billion in the trial. The court rejected the appeal without giving any explanation for its decision.
The court "properly rejected Jones’s latest desperate attempt to avoid accountability for the harm he has caused" - Chris Mattei, attorney representing the families.
The ruling will keep in place a lower court judge's order that Jones pay the $1.4 billion judgment, which has been described as a "financial death penalty".
