"In response to your inquiry regarding allegations within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States; specifically, an aircraft carrying Mr. Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI is continuing to gather facts and will evaluate whether an investigation at the federal level will be pursued."
There are additional reports that the L.A. Department of Children and Family Services have begun an investigation into the incident, but they was unable to comment when contacted by multiple outlets, including MarieClaire.com.
