Jolie filed the lawsuit under the name “Jane Doe” and, citing the Freedom of Information Act, requested information relating to the investigation, in an effort to “protect children in the legal system of the family.”
She claimed that “the information withheld by the DOJ and the FBI contains evidence of harm” and that the refusal to produce this information “continues to hinder her efforts to obtain necessary continuing care and medical attention for her children, and has further harmed children in the family law system,” according to documents.
During a fight in 2016, Pitt allegedly “choked one of the children and punched another in the face” and “grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her.” He then poured “beer and red wine” on her and their six children.
“Some children begged Pitt to stop,” according to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. “They were all scared. Many were crying.”
