The lawyers for Alex Jones say the conspiracist will never be able to pay the amount.
The US Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones over a $1.4bn (£1bn) judgment against him after he described the Sandy Hook shooting as a hoax.
The Infowars host, who filed for bankruptcy in late 2022, had argued that the judge was wrong to find him liable for defamation and infliction of emotional distress without holding a trial.
But the US Supreme Court has declined to hear a challenge from Mr Jones over the money, set to be awarded to the families of the victims of the shooting.
The tragedy saw 20 primary school children and six teaching staff killed in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012.
Justices on Tuesday upheld most of the judgment, issued by a judge and jury in 2022, to 14 family members of children and school employees killed and an FBI agent who responded to the shooting.
