The House Oversight Committee is requesting to speak with one of the prison guards on duty at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York (MCC New York), on the night convicted pedophile and financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly committed suicide. In a letter sent on Friday, March 13, Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) formally instructed Tova Noel, a guard at MCC New York, that she is slated to appear before the Committee for a transcribed interview on March 26, 2026.

“Due to public reporting, documents released by the Department of Justice, and documents obtained by the Committee, the Committee believes you have information that will assist in its investigation,” Chairman Comer wrote. Already, the Oversight Committee has conducted extensive interviews with former Attorney General Bill Barr, former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, Ghislaine Maxwell, Les Wexner, former President Bill Clinton, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as part of its broad inquiry into Epstein, his death, and ties to government officials and other public figures.

Noel was fired as a guard following Epstein’s death, with her superiors alleging she had falsified records to make it appear she had done her rounds in the prison unit that morning. Further, a handwritten note from an inmate at the MCC New York, and released as part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Epstein Files, claims that guards were overhead discussing Epstein’s death and how to cover it up. “If he is dead, we’re going to cover it up and he’s going to have an alibi, my officers,” the guards were allegedly overheard saying. The same note indicates another inmate accused “Miss Noel” of having killed Epstein.

Subsequently, the transcript of a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) interview with Noel revealed that she had conducted several searches for Epstein’s name on the internet from 5:42 to 5:52 AM on August 10, 2019. Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at around 6:30 AM. Noel, in the same FBI interview, also acknowledged that she was the last person to see Epstein alive.

Meanwhile, late last month, Mark Epstein, the brother of Jeffrey Epstein, claimed that an upcoming report will definitively prove his brother’s 2019 death was not a suicide. “They are concluding, and doing the report that will come out shortly, which is being peer reviewed, for a number of reasons showing it couldn’t have been a suicide as they had claimed,” Mark Epstein said. He went on to assert that the forthcoming document would back his view that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered, stating, “It will conclusively show it was not a suicide… then who killed him and who had him killed.”
