U.S. Department of Justice Closes Investigation of Cole Engineering Services

MCLEAN, Va., Feb. 18, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Cole Engineering Services Inc. (Cole), a By Light company, has been informed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that it is no longer under investigation. Neither Cole nor By Light was ever a target of the investigation.

As previously reported by some media outlets, a search warrant was executed at Cole’s facilities in June 2024. Following this event, the company retained former senior DOJ officials to conduct an independent review of the matter on behalf of company leadership, engage with DOJ to understand the basis for the search, and work toward the resolution of the investigation.

On December 13, 2024, Cole was formally notified by DOJ through counsel that the investigation had concluded, and no further action was required on the company’s part. This result is consistent with our belief that neither Cole nor any of its employees engaged in inappropriate conduct. The company appreciates the swift resolution of the matter and the professionalism displayed by DOJ throughout the investigation.

“Throughout this process, the employees of our Cole Engineering Services subsidiary have remained laser-focused on executing the mission of our customers,” said Bob Donahue, Chief Executive Officer of parent company, By Light. “We continue to deliver state-of-the-art systems that increase both the readiness and lethality of our armed forces—soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines—ensuring they are equipped with the tools necessary to remain the world’s preeminent military force.”

Cole and By Light were represented in this matter by Morrison Foerster.
