Story summary
  • Correctional officer Tova Noel will testify closed-door before the House Oversight Committee on Jeffrey Epstein’s August 2019 death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.
  • In a 2021 deposition, Noel said she saw guard Michael Thomas perform CPR on Epstein and heard no sounds from his cell after 10:30 p.m.
  • A 2019 falsifying-prison-log charge led to a plea requiring Noel and Thomas to do community service, cooperate and avoid jail.
