Tova Noel, a former correctional officer at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, is set to testify before the House Oversight Committee about the night Jeffrey Epstein died in August 2019; she was on duty the evening of Aug. 9 2019, believes she was the last person to see Epstein alive, and previously testified to the DOJ inspector‑general, where she was charged—along with fellow guard Michael Thomas—with falsifying inmate‑count records, later receiving a plea deal that spared jail time; in her deposition Noel said she had only a routine interaction with Epstein, plugging in his CPAP machine, denied falling asleep that night though admitted to using the internet, and maintains she did not receive any special instructions regarding his monitoring, making her testimony a key part of the congressional investigation into the federal handling of the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Ex-Boyfriend Reveals Ghislaine Maxwell’s Greedy Demand by Josh Fiallo AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Ted Waitt, the billionaire founder of Gateway, testified before the House Oversight Committee that he ended his seven‑year relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell in 2010 by giving her a $7.2 million “palimony” payment—plus monthly allowance while they dated—to help her maintain the lavish lifestyle she was accustomed to, noting she was unhappy with the amount and wanted more. He said he never received any written agreement, had no knowledge of her involvement with Jeffrey Epstein until after their split, and now regrets ever associating with her, especially given her later conviction for sex‑trafficking crimes. Waitt’s testimony also highlighted his prior wealth, their overlapping timelines with Epstein, and past social connections to figures such as Bill Clinton, while he affirmed he gave no further funds after the breakup.

The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday released the transcript of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s closed‑door deposition about his relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Lutnick, who was once Epstein’s neighbor and exchanged emails with the financier—communications later made public by the Department of Justice—testified on May 6 after criticism that his earlier statements about the ties were contradictory. The committee also released the transcript of its deposition with Ted Waitt, a former boyfriend of Ghislaine Maxwell and co‑founder of Gateway Inc., as part of its broader investigation into the federal government’s handling of the Epstein‑Maxwell cases. Lawmakers have also sought testimony from other high‑profile figures, including former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Bill Gates, who is slated to appear next month.

Mother Jones | Trump Admin. Has Up to 120,000 Pages of Documents on Ghislaine Maxwell’s Prison Transfer by David Corn AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article examines the puzzling 2022 transfer of convicted sex‑trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell from a medium‑security co‑ed prison to the low‑security, women‑only Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas—a facility known for amenities such as yoga classes and a puppy program and previously housing high‑profile inmates like Elizabeth Holmes. After a lengthy interview with former deputy attorney general Todd Blanche in which Maxwell praised Donald Trump, journalist Michele McGowan filed a Freedom of Information Act request for every record concerning the move, only to encounter months of delay and a claim from the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) that retrieving the data involved “15.8 GB of potentially responsive records”—roughly 120,000 pages that crashed the agency’s system. The BOP’s slow, understaffed FOIA office, now burdened by thousands of backlogged requests, mirrors a broader federal trend of dwindling FOIA resources and mounting delays across the Defense, State, and Health departments, prompting lawsuits by Mother Jones and the Center for Investigative Reporting to force disclosure. Meanwhile, reports of special treatment for Maxwell at the Bryan camp and political talk of a possible Trump pardon have heightened calls for transparency, underscoring the need for the Justice Department to simply explain the rationale behind her relocation rather than leaving the public to wade through an enormous, delayed FOIA request.

9News | Purported Jeffrey Epstein suicide note being kept hidden by court: report by 9News AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The New York Times reports that Jeffrey Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, says Epstein wrote a suicide note that was subsequently hidden by a federal court. According to Tartaglione, the yellow‑paper note—found torn from a legal pad inside a graphic novel—read, “What do you want me to do, bust out crying? Time to say goodbye.” He told his lawyer about the note after Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell; the lawyer allegedly turned the note over to a district courthouse, which now holds it and has been petitioned to release it. The note has not appeared in the as‑yet‑released Epstein files or formal investigations. Tartaglione, serving life sentences for unrelated murders, denies any role in Epstein’s death, and the Metropolitan Correctional Centre where the incident occurred was later closed.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Epstein Reporter Reveals Why She Thinks Ghislaine Is Lining Up a Lifeline by Julia Ornedo AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Reporter Julie K. Brown, whose investigative work helped bring down Jeffrey Epstein, says she believes Ghislaine Maxwell will eventually secure a pardon or commutation because she “knows too much” about Epstein’s crimes and can potentially release damaging information on powerful men, including a note referencing Wall Street billionaire Leon Black. Maxwell, serving a 20‑year sentence in Texas, has a lawyer who is optimistic about a clemency chance, while former President Donald Trump has not ruled it out. The prospect of a pardon has sparked division: some Republican lawmakers support it, but many MAGA supporters and Epstein survivors, including figures like Marjorie Taylor‑Greene, strongly oppose any relief for Maxwell, viewing her as a central abuser in the scandal.

Jezebel | Congrats to Todd Blanche on His First Epstein Lawsuit as Acting AG! by Danielle Han AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A journalist, Katie Phang, has filed a 15‑page lawsuit against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, accusing the Justice Department of “brazen, shocking, and ongoing” violations of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandated full public release of the Epstein records by Dec. 19, 2025. Phang argues that the DOJ’s piecemeal, heavily redacted releases—initially a small batch of documents, then 30,000 files, followed months later by three million error‑filled pages that even exposed survivors’ details—failed to meet the law’s deadline and impeded her reporting. The suit follows earlier congressional efforts, including a failed push by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna for an independent monitor, and comes amid criticism of former AG Pam Bondi’s handling of the files. Phang’s filing seeks to compel the DOJ to comply with the statutory requirement and ensure transparent access to the complete Epstein documentation.

ABC News: Top Stories | Judge blocks DOJ's attempt to move Maurene Comey's lawsuit out of court AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A federal judge in New York rejected the Justice Department’s attempt to transfer Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey’s wrongful‑termination lawsuit out of court, keeping the case before him because her dismissal was carried out under the President’s Article II executive authority rather than standard civil‑service procedures. Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, left the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York last year and has sued the DOJ, alleging she was fired arbitrarily because of her father’s prominence and perceived political affiliations. The department argued the dispute should be heard by the Merit Systems Protection Board, but the judge noted that Comey was a career prosecutor who handled high‑profile cases—including those against Sean “Diddy” Combs, Robert Hadden, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell—and was terminated with a single reason: the President’s constitutional power to remove federal employees. The next hearing is set for May 28.

Home - CBSNews.com | Judge allows Maurene Comey's lawsuit challenging her firing to proceed AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A federal judge has ruled that former assistant U.S. attorney Maurene Comey’s lawsuit challenging her dismissal by President Trump can proceed in federal court. Judge Jesse Furman held that her firing, which was carried out under Article II of the Constitution rather than a civil‑service statute, falls outside the jurisdiction of the Merit Systems Protection Board, giving the court authority to hear the case. Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, alleges she was removed because of the president’s animus toward her father and is seeking reinstatement and back pay. The Trump administration had asked the court to dismiss the suit, arguing it lacked jurisdiction, but the judge rejected that argument.

Times of India | 'Dog that hasn't barked is Trump': Epstein claim projected at DC hotel ahead of president's media dinner AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A two‑minute video projection was displayed on the Washington Hilton’s façade on the eve of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, bombarding Donald Trump with accusations tied to Jeffrey Epstein. The animation combined archival footage of Trump and Epstein together at social events with blurred excerpts from the heavily redacted Epstein files, and featured captions alleging that Trump had been warned in a 2011 email from Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell that “the dog that hasn't barked is Trump.” The protest message claimed the administration had released only half of the Epstein documents, many pages blacked out, and suggested that Trump was implicated in the cover‑up of Epstein’s crimes, even referencing a recent admission on Air Force One that Trump knew young women were being recruited from Mar‑a‑Llago for Epstein’s activities.

"Trump is aiming for a trifecta never achieved in American political history: He is attempting to convert his campaign’s top three winning issues into political liabilities of epic proportions. He has already done the heavy lifting: He has alienated voters on the economy, immigration, and the Epstein files. But there is no situation that Trump cannot make worse." ~ Robert B.

"He is about to do so with the cover-up of his involvement in Epstein’s child rape and trafficking criminal enterprise. Yes, it is maddening and devastating—especially for the victims--that a man who seems to be hip deep in the Epstein scandal is on the verge of granting a pardon (clemency) for Ghislaine Maxwell." #Trump #Epstein #GhislaineMaxwell #pedophiles #ApprovalRating /2

undefined | Melania Trump's speech propels Epstein crisis back to forefront Melania Trump took the White House podium on Thursday to address the lingering Jeffrey Epstein scandal, a surprise that interrupted a scheduled address on Iran. In a prepared statement she flatly denied any personal or business connection with Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, asserted she had never been introduced to her husband by Epstein, and said she was unaware of his crimes. She concluded by urging Congress to hold public hearings that would allow Epstein’s survivors to testify, positioning the issue back at the forefront of national attention. The unexpected declaration sparked an immediate backlash and a flurry of responses from survivors, journalists, and lawmakers. Several victims, including Marina Lacerda—who was 14 when abused by Epstein—condemned the speech as a political diversion, questioning whether the first lady was trying to shield the Trump family. Others, such as survivor Lisa Phillips, praised the call for hearings but demanded concrete follow‑up actions. Investigative journalist Vicky Ward and author Barry Levine noted the puzzling timing and highlighted that Melania’s stance sharply diverges from President Donald Trump’s long‑standing dismissal of the Epstein files as a hoax. Politically, the remark deepened fissures within the White House and the broader partisan landscape. Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, including Chairman James Comer, expressed willingness to schedule survivor hearings, while Democrats such as Rep. Robert Garcia called on the president to release the remaining undisclosed documents and compel key witnesses to testify. The episode underscores a rare moment of independence for the first lady, who, by publicly confronting the Epstein controversy, placed the administration under renewed pressure to address the still‑unresolved investigation.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Melania’s Epstein Bombshell Breaks Megyn Kelly‘s Brain by Eboni Boykin-Patterson Megyn Kelly Show/YouTubeMegyn Kelly is very confused by Melania Trump’s sudden public effort to deny her association with Jeffrey Epstein. “Why did she do this?” Kelly asked in a clip from her Megyn Kelly Show on Friday. “That’s really what everyone was asking. Why? Like, everyone knows. Everyone knows in PR, once the storm has passed, you don’t do anything to bring it back upon you.” “If she doesn’t want people talking about her relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, or whatever it was with Epstein, then she shouldn’t talk about her relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein,” she continued, “especially when—has that been in the news? Have any of you been seeing that in the news? The news right now is non-stop Iran.” Read more: https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/melania-trumps-epstein-bombshell-breaks-megyn-kellys-brain/ #melaniatrump #jeffreyepstein #megynkelly #ghislainemaxwell #dailybeast

Zeteo | 🙋‍♀️ Melania, Out of the Blue, Denies Ties to Epstiein by Andrew Perez On this day in 1919, Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata was shot dead by government forces. Decades later, Zapata’s image was used by the United Farm Workers, a US group jointly led by Dolores Huerta, the great campaigner who turns 96 today. Good morning! Andrew and Swin here. Our president continues to be racist, ICE keeps shooting people, and the war in Iran could restart at any moment. But this morning, our lede is about Melania Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Don’t blame us. It was her idea. In today’s ‘First Draft,’ the first lady volunteers that she “was never involved” in Epstein’s crimes, Democrats can’t pass a symbolic resolution calling out AIPAC, and Donald Trump doesn’t seem happy with his ceasefire deal, even after he decided Israel could keep massacring people in Lebanon. ‘What the Fuck Is She Doing?’Donald Trump and his future wife, Melania Knauss, pose with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago on Feb. 12, 2000.

Recently I finished some new analysis of the Epstein documents. The documents that have been released only have 138 unique victim reports alleging sexual abuse. Compare that number to the list the FBI/DOJ has with 1,114 victim names. There are over 900 victim reports that have not been released. For more info and a link to my report please see my post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Epstein/comments/1saoq4q/fbidoj_say_1114_victims_they_only_released_138/ #Epstein #EpsteinClass #GhislaineMaxwell #Pedophiles
