The Department of Justice recently released documents that have renewed the fanfare around Jeffrey Epstein, the late and disgraced financier who committed suicide in a Manhattan Federal Jail, and has always had many conspiracy theories surrounding his death.<\/p>\n
Newly released documents provide a look into the hours preceding Epstein\u2019s death. A prison guard named Tova Noel<\/strong> conducted an internet search on Epstein\u2019s whereabouts just before discovering Epstein\u2019s body at The Metropolitan Correctional Center<\/strong> at approximately 6:30 AM. Noel was working the Special Housing Unit night shift with another guard, Michael Thomas<\/strong>, but later claimed she did not remember searching.<\/p>\n The DOJ documents detail Noel\u2019s suspicious financial activity<\/strong>, including multiple cash deposit transactions over several months leading up to and including the time of Epstein\u2019s death, as well as Noel leasing a new high-end Land Rover<\/strong>. Noel, an Army veteran assigned to the unit after Epstein\u2019s arrival, admitted to investigators that she was not required to conduct the mandated 30-minute checks on inmates and often counted other daily routine tasks as compliance. Both guards were charged with falsifying prison records<\/strong> but eventually entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement.<\/p>\n Epstein was discovered on the floor of his prison cell with a noose tied from sheets and in a fetal position. The cameras monitoring that section were not operating<\/strong> during the period before his death, which is consistent with the ongoing problems and failure of the facility that closed thereafter. An email from staff discussed how an inmate reported prison staff were shredding a large number of documents<\/strong> following Epstein\u2019s death. Investigators noted that the need to check the dumpsters would be important, but it\u2019s unclear if that happened.<\/p>\n Noel has recently been required to testify to the House Oversight Committee regarding this case, but her testimony has been held over. As part of a very large release of documents from the DOJ, these documents tend to support the public\u2019s suspicion that an individual as well-known as Epstein, and who was on suicide watch, could have died under such suspicious circumstances, and although the official finding was one of negligence and not of foul play, it only adds to the doubts in the minds of many as to why he was able to die in such a manner.<\/p>\n Critics of this new material assert that it highlights the systemic failures<\/strong> in the Federal Prison System and also calls into question the accountability of persons who were associated with Epstein\u2019s sex-trafficking scheme. There continues to be activity in Washington, D.C., related to this matter, and the public continues to take note of the unresolved mysteries that surround what has been one of the most notorious cases in modern U.S. history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Department of Justice recently released documents that have renewed the fanfare around Jeffrey Epstein, the late and disgraced financier\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":395,"featured_media":114281,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[35874],"class_list":["post-114280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-new-epstein-files"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/395"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114280"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114280\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":114288,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114280\/revisions\/114288"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
