Jane Sanders, the wife of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., will reportedly not face charges after federal prosecutors wrapped up their investigation into a soured land deal involving Burlington College that was brokered while she was president of the institution.
“Jane Sanders has been informed that the U.S. Attorney in Vermont has closed its investigation of the Burlington College land deal and has decided not to bring charges of any kind,†Jeff Weaver, who served as Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign manager, wrote in a Tuesday statement, according to CNN and Politico.
“Jane is grateful that the investigation has come to an end,†Weaver said. “As she has said from the beginning she has done nothing wrong and Jane is pleased that the matter has now come to a conclusion."
Neither representatives for Jane Sanders nor the U.S. Attorney's Office in Vermont immediately responded to the Washington Examiner's requests for comment.
