While terms of the settlement are not known, Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to make an announcement on the deal in a new conference on Thursday afternoon.
BP Statement:
BP confirms that it is in advanced discussions with the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding proposed resolutions of all US federal government criminal and SEC claims against BP in connection with the Deepwater Horizon incident. No final agreements have yet been reached and any resolutions, if agreed, would be subject to federal court approvals in the United States.
