I'm quite surprised. From the outside, how the US appears, I would have expected Trump to do some BS or the courts threw it out because free speech for psychopaths etc. But somehow that didn't happen?

Jones was always just an independent grifter. Its not like he was in Trump's inner circle. Also Jones lost the case over a year ago. I think the verdict came out under the Biden regime.
