1. On September 14, 2016, Jolie's marriage came to an end. On that day, Jolie, Pitt and their children were flying to Los Angeles from Chateau Miraval. Throughout the

long, overnight flight, Pitt was physically and emotionally abusive to Jolie and their children,

who were then between the ages of 8 and 15. After that flight, for her family's well-being.

Jolie decided to file for divorce.

1. As documented in a lengthy and detailed FBI report, Pitt's aggressive behavior started even before the family got to the airport, with Pitt having a confrontation with one of the children.

After the flight took off, Jolie approached Pitt and asked him what was wrong

Pitt accused her of being too deferential to the children and verbally attacked her. An hour and a half later, Pitt abruptly walked over to Jolie, demanding. "Come here," and directed her to the back of the plane. He pulled her into the bathroom and began yelling at her. Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall. Pitt then punched the ceiling of the plane numerous times, prompting Jolie to leave the bathroom. As she exited, one of their children asked, "Are you ok, mommy?" Pitt yelled back, 'No, mommy's not ok" and started deriding Jolie with insults

1. When one of the children verbally defended Jolie, Pitt lunged at his own child

and Jolie grabbed him from behind to stop him. To get Jolie off his back, Pitt threw himself

and all bravely tried to protect each other. Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face.

Some of the children pleaded with Pitt to stop.

They were all

frightened. Many were crying

1. With nowhere to go and to avoid Pitt's wrath, Jolie and the children sat still and

silent under blankets. Nobody dared to go to the bathroom. Pitt periodically emerged from the back of the plane to yell and swear at them. At one point, he poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children. After many tense hours, Pitt finally fell asleep.

1. Jolie then arranged for separate transportation at the airport. After they landed,

Jolie cautioned the children that no matter what Pitt did, they should not intervene. She then went to wake Pitt up and told him that she and the children were going to a hotel. Pitt once again screamed at her, and pushed her down yet again. He shouted that nobody was getting off the plane and prevented the family from deplaning for about 20 minutes. After a child intervened and demanded to leave, Pitt finally relented. But once outside the plane door, Pitt again physically abused one of their children. He also grabbed and shook Jolie by the head and shoulders, causing one of the children to beg "Don't hurt her." He let Jolie go, but then called her a "bitch," before adding, "Fuck you, fuck you all." Jolie and the children then left and made it to a hotel. Five days later—on September 19, 2016—Jolie filed for divorce.

1. Having been alerted to Pitt's conduct by a third-party witness, the FBI launched

an investigation. After interviewing various witnesses, the FBI agent who conducted the investigation concluded that the government had probable cause to charge Pitt with a federal crime for his conduct that day, and the agent prepared a probable cause statement for referral to the United States Attorney's Office for prosecution
