The FBI is not expected to reopen the investigation into Brad Pitt after an explosive report came out this week, a friend of the actor said.
“The statute of limitations is way past and they have all the information to hand. There is nothing new here. At the time, they considered all of Angelina’s allegations and did not press charges,” the source said.
“The FBI has thoroughly investigated the incident, there is no chance they will reopen the case. This is all a concerted effort to defame Brad.”
An FBI spokesperson said he could not comment on the matter.
The friend pointed out that even though Jolie shared the same details from the FBI report in her ongoing custody battle against Pitt, a judge still gave Pitt 50/50 custody of their children.
The Oscar winner, 47, claimed to the FBI in 2016 that her then-husband Pitt, 58, left her bruised after drunkenly pushing her aboard a private jet, leaving their six children very upset.
The friend told Vidak For Congress that Jolie referred the star’s alleged actions on the plane to the judge overseeing their custody case.
The friend said: “Angelina’s allegations were made in at least two different legal contexts: the incident on the plane and then again during a lengthy custody process. In one case, no charges were filed and in another case Brad was given 50/50 custody.”
The high-profile couple have been at war over their six children for the past six years, since Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016.
Although officially divorced, the actors are still embroiled in a custody dispute over their minor children: Zahara, 17; Shilo, 16; and twins Vivienne and Knox, 14. Sons Maddox and Pax are 21 and 18 years old respectively.
As Vidak For Congress reported, Jolie claimed in the report made public this week that Pitt yelled at her, “You’re ruining this family,” and said one of their children was like a “f-king Columbine kid,” aboard the ship. a flight from Nice, France, to the US, in September 2016. The actress filed for divorce four days after the incident.
Pitt’s friend said: “This is six-year-old stuff Angelina presented at the custody hearing. This is Angelina’s six-year campaign to discredit Brad.
“This is really just Angelina’s version of events. This is what she claims happened…
“These allegations were made during the custody hearing and the judge clearly didn’t believe her or Brad would never have been given joint custody.”
Representatives for Pitt and Jolie could not be reached for comment.
