Epstein prison guard to testify before House Oversight Committee
The House Oversight Committee announced on Friday it is seeking to hear testimony later this month from one of Jeffrey Epstein’s prison guards, as Congress continues to probe the deceased financier.
TL;DR
- The House Oversight Committee is seeking testimony from Tova Noel, a prison guard on duty when Jeffrey Epstein died.
- Noel and another guard, Michael Thomas, were fired after admitting to falsifying records about checking on Epstein.
- Newly released Justice Department documents show Noel searched for 'latest on Epstein in jail' twice before his death.
- The committee chairman has expressed skepticism about the official suicide ruling.
- The committee also wants to question Noel about a $5,000 suspicious bank deposit she made shortly before Epstein's death.
