Jolie’s ‘desperate’ for FBI dirt on Pitt

By SARAH NATHAN

Angelina Jolie is “desperately trying to find something new” in her fight with ex-husband Brad Pitt, which is why she is allegedly suing the FBI for records Pitt’s lawyers say she already has, according to sources close to Pitt.

The actress is believed to have filed suit against the bureau in April — anonymously, as Jane Doe — requesting documents related to an investigation concerning Pitt, reportedly in a bid to find out why no criminal charges were brought against her ex following the 2016 flight in a private jet with their family that led her to file for divorce.

The report, seen by The Post’s Page Six, has now been released, and shows that the assistant US attorney and the assistant US chief of the criminal division discussed the case in November 2017 before a decision was reached not to proceed with charges.

In the initial FBI report, Jolie told officials that she believed Pitt was “mad” from the time they boarded the jet Sept. 14, 2016, from Nice, France, to the US, with kids Maddox, now 21; Pax, 18; Zahara, 17; Shiloh, 16; and twins Vivienne and Knox, 14.

During the flight, Jolie said that Pitt, who had been drinking, took her to the restroom where he “grabbed her by the head, shaking her,” and shook her by the shoulders as they argued over one of the children. She alleged that he punched the ceiling of the plane four times after telling her “You’re f--king up this family.”

When the kids asked, “Are you OK, Mommy?” Pitt allegedly replied: “No, she’s not OK, she’s ruining this family, she’s crazy.”

At this point, one of the kids, whose name was redacted, yelled: “It’s not her, it’s you, you p--ck!” according to the report. Pitt then allegedly ran toward the child, but Jolie held him back, suffering injuries to her back and elbow.

She submitted photos of her alleged injuries to the FBI and also journals from the kids.

At another point during the flight, according to the initial FBI report, Jolie said that Pitt poured beer on her as she tried to sleep.

At the end of the flight, Jolie claimed that Pitt held the family back from deplaning for about 20 minutes after she told him she was taking the kids to a hotel in California to rest. She said he yelled, “You’re not taking my f--king kids!’’ and that he pushed her.

Jolie filed for divorce six days later. They’re still warring over the custody of their minor children. As Page Six revealed earlier this month, they also are embroiled in a legal battle involving a child psychiatrist who spoke to the minor children.
