House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is moving to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein’s former prison guard, Tova Noel, after reports indicate that she received suspicious deposits.
Speaking to Fox News’ Jesse Watters, Comer said that a suspicious activity report flagged a “$5,000 mysterious deposit,” a concerning matter given that it is “very seldom” that reports are made for “sums less than $10,000.”
“That’s a mystery there, and that’s something that, according to the DOJ documents, they never looked into — never asked her about,” Comer explained. “Because of this, because of the media reports, and because of the fact that, honestly, most people on the committee aren’t confident 100% that Epstein’s death was a suicide, we’re going to ask Ms. Noel to come in for a transcribed interview.”
“Why did the government not do a better job of investigating and prosecuting Epstein when they had a chance years before they finally convicted him?” he asked. “Was Epstein a spy? Was our government involved in any way, shape, or form in trying to destroy evidence or hide evidence from any of those four properties?”
“Now, was Epstein’s death a suicide, as the government has reported, or was there something else?”
In November, Comer issued subpoenas to financial entities connected to Epstein. In a letter to JPMorgan Chase Bank’s General Counsel, Stacy Friedman, Comer wrote, “The Committee is aware that Mr. Epstein held accounts at JPMorgan Chase and that Mr. Epstein banked with JPMorgan Chase for around two decades until 2013 when JPMorgan Chase reportedly closed all of Mr. Epstein’s accounts.”
Similarly, in a letter to Deutsche Bank’s General Counsel Simone Kampfer, Comer wrote, “The Committee is aware that Mr. Epstein held accounts at Deutsche Bank, and that Mr. Epstein banked with Deutsche Bank from 2013 until potentially late 2018.”
