Ajudge has put satirical news company The Onion's purchase of Alex Jones' Infowars site on hold pending a hearing to review the sale.

Judge Christopher Lopez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston cited concerns about the transparency of the deal soon after the surprise announcement regarding the future of the Infowars site founded by the conspiracy theorist.

"We're all going to an evidentiary hearing, and I'm going to figure out exactly what happened," Lopez said at a Thursday court hearing, via the Associated Press. "No one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction." An exact date for the hearing, expected to be some time next week, was not set by the judge.

Los Angeles entertainment attorney Tre Lovell said that Lopez may end up blocking The Onion's purchase of Infowars if the judge rules the sale is not in the best interest of Jones, or if the satirical news publisher is merely trying to make a "joke" out of the bidding process.

1. So, the conspiracy to give it to Roger Stone failed, and now a judge is going to check to see why?

3. It didn't help that the Onion CEO went on a news broadcast and said they paid $1 Trillon for it.

Of course, he quickly said that it was a joke. I found out that the court doesn't like people joking and degrading with it.

7. I hope they're getting it DIRT CHEAP

I don't want to see Alex Jones make any substantial money off this sale.
