BRAD Pitt can rest easy — the FBI isn’t out to get him, according to a report on Saturday.

The actor came under scrutiny after reports surfaced he allegedly hit or verbally abused his 15-year-old son Maddox with Angelina Jolie as the family was flying on a private jet last month.

Authorities in Los Angeles opened an investigation of the incident, which helped spark Jolie’s divorce petition.

Local cops turned their case over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who never even bothered to open a case, TMZ reported.

Sources had claimed the physical contact between Pitt and oldest son Maddox might have even been incidental, and the episode should never have been referred to the feds, the web site says.
