"Jane is grateful the investigation has come to an end. She has said from the beginning that she did nothing wrong and she is pleased that the matter has come to a conclusion," Weaver said.

The FBI had reportedly been investigating whether Sanders falsified documents regarding loan donations Burlington College received in 2010, when she was the college's president.

The investigation was opened after VTDigger, a news organization in Vermont, reported in 2016 that she had inflated the amount of donations the college received.

Bernie Sanders told CNN's Jake Tapper last year that politics were to blame for the investigation being opened.

"Right in the middle of my presidential campaign, I know this will shock the viewers, the vice chairman of the Vermont Republican Party, who happened to be Donald Trump's campaign manager, raised this issue and initiated this investigation," he said.
