Brad Pitt cleared by FBI in child abuse investigation

It’s more good news for Brad Pitt…

The FBI has cleared the actor of child abuse following their investigation into THAT plane incident.

The agency has closed its inquiry into the star after it began looking into an alleged altercation between Brad and his adopted son Maddox during a flight on a private jet back in September, TMZ reported.

“The FBI has conducted a review of the circumstances and will not pursue further investigation,” an FBI spokesman told the website.

“No charges have been filed in this matter.”

It comes two weeks after the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services closed its investigation into the matter.

They also concluded that no child abuse had taken place.

Social workers and FBI agents quizzed both stars, their children and witnesses in the two investigations – before deciding to drop the case.

Meanwhile Brad, 52, is still battling with ex Angelina Jolie over custody of their six kids – with the actress wanting sole physical custody.

Although a report on Tuesday suggested the couple may put their differences aside for Thanksgiving.

The Maleficent star rang Brad and asked for a temporary truce so the family could spend the holiday together, OK reported.

The 41-year-old actress blindsided Brad when she filed for divorce in September just days after the now infamous private jet flight.

The couple had been together 10 years – finally tying the knot in 2014.

As well as Maddox, 15, the couple have five other kids: Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
