10/13: Alex Jones ordered to pay nearly $1 billion to Sandy Hook families. New report shows the economy continues to suffer from high inflation.
A jury determined the radio talk show host and conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones, must pay nearly $1 billion in damages to the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims. Jones repeatedly called the school massacre "a hoax" on the air. Last year, a judge found him liable of defamation by default after he failed to produce documents demanded in the lawsuit. Now to the House select committee investigating the January 6th assault on the Capitol which will hold its last planned public hearing in just a few hours. Committee members say they will share never-before-seen images and revelations about the attack and new information about former President Trump's role in a plot to overturn the election results. Russia launched new attacks against the Kyiv region overnight and shelled a key city in the south of the country. They are the latest in a series of strikes that began with a wave of missile and drone attacks Monday. The Los Angeles city councilor who ignited widespread outrage with racist remarks, caught on tape, has resigned under heavy pressure. Two other councilors, heard on the same tape, are ignoring calls to step down. New fallout from the death of a Navy seal candidate, Kyle Mullen, who died in February of acute pneumonia just hours after completing the infamous "Hell Week," which is known for pushing trainees to their limits. Three Navy officers have been disciplined for overseeing training that resulted in Mullen's death. Breaking news, a new report showing the economy continues to suffer from stubbornly high inflation. The news, a short time ago, led to a sharp decline on Wall Street after the opening bell. Economists are concerned about the underlying rate of inflation which could force the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates even more in the coming months. Two weeks after Hurricane Ian hit Florida, the broken bridge to Sanibel Island has been fixed, and power crews are on the island. A new report says Ian was the 15th billion-dollar disaster in the U.S. this year.
