The settlement between Alec Baldwin, the Rust movie production company and the family of Halyna Hutchins will have “no impact” on the ongoing criminal investigation into the incident, the Santa Fe District Attorney has said.

A spokesperson for the DA’s office said charges would still be brought if they were warranted by the “facts and evidence” in the case.
