House Investigators Focus on Prison Guard Tova Noel in Epstein Death Investigation (3/16/26)

The House Oversight Committee is seeking to interview a former federal prison guard who was on duty the night Jeffrey Epstein died in custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York in August 2019. Lawmakers sent a letter requesting a transcribed interview with correctional officer Tova Noel as part of their ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death. Noel and another guard, Michael Thomas, were previously charged in 2019 with falsifying prison records to make it appear they had conducted required security checks on inmates in the Special Housing Unit when they had not. The charges were later resolved through a deal with prosecutors and ultimately dismissed.

The renewed congressional interest comes after newly released Justice Department records drew attention to Noel’s conduct and financial activity around the time of Epstein’s death. According to the documents, Noel’s bank had flagged a series of small cash deposits totaling roughly $12,000 between 2018 and mid-2019, with the final deposit occurring about ten days before Epstein died. Oversight Committee leaders said these disclosures, combined with ongoing public doubts about the official conclusion that Epstein died by suicide, have raised additional questions lawmakers want answered. The committee has asked Noel to appear for an interview on March 26 as part of its broader effort to examine security failures and unanswered issues surrounding Epstein’s final hours in federal custody.
