The US Attorney’s Office was expected to hold a press conference to discuss the deal and charges on the same day.

Mr Fogle’s legal representative Ron Elberger declined to provide comment on the case, but confirmed his client’s contract with Subway was suspended.

On Tuesday Subway provided a similar statement to Twitter.

We no longer have a relationship with Jared and have no further comment.
