A reporter at Puck News claims he can confirm that the FBI was ready to pursue Brad Pitt over an alleged assault of his former wife, actress Angelina Jolie, before ultimately deciding not to pursue criminal charges.

Eriq Gardner from Puck News claims he can confirm that Jolie was the Plaintiff in an FBI suit that previously listed information pertaining to a “Jane Doe,” alleging an assault that took place at the hands of her then-husband. The item, originally published by Politico, referenced a judge who declined to seal a “Jane Doe” Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit.

The item demanded the FBI turn over documents related to allegations of physical and verbal assault while traveling on a plane, according to the outlet. Details of the incident, along with the timeline, led Gardner to speculate that the “Jane Doe” in question was Jolie. “Having followed their bizarre post-divorce legal battle for some time, I can now confirm that Jolie is indeed the plaintiff in the F.B.I. suit,” Gardner said in the Puck News article.

In the incident, the Plaintiff’s then-husband was allegedly drinking and took the Plaintiff to the back of the plane where he grabbed her shoulders, shook her, and yelled at her, making statements such as “You’re f*cking up this family,” according to Puck News. Another incident on the same day allegedly left the Plaintiff with injuries, photographs of which she reportedly supplied to a special agent in an effort to corroborate her claims of abuse.

The special agent proceeded to meet with an assistant U.S. attorney and both parties agreed criminal charges would not be pursued, allegedly because the agency possessed “unredacted records” and “corroborating evidence” required for the Plaintiff’s amended complaint, according to Puck News.

A a statement of probable cause was prepared by the agent investigating the reported incident dating to September 2016 and it was provided to the chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles, according to Puck News. The amended complaint indicates the Plaintiff learned this detail from the FBI’s FOIA response the year prior, according to Gardner.(RELATED: Brad Pitt Opens Up About Sobriety And A Peculiar Social Problem)

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
