Two federal workers who were on duty the night Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail were charged on Tuesday in connection with their alleged failure to check on him every half-hour.
The two federal Bureau of Prisons employees were expected to appear in United States District Court in Manhattan.
The charges are the first to arise from a criminal investigation into the death of Mr. Epstein, the disgraced financier who hanged himself at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
A person briefed on the case had said early on Tuesday that the two federal workers had already been arrested, but others involved in the case said later in the morning that the arrests had not yet been carried out and the two workers would be charged later in the day.
The indictment charged the workers, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, with making false records and conspiring to defraud the United States. Specifically, the indictment said the two workers failed to make their rounds to check on detainees and instead “sat at their desk, browsed the internet and moved around the common area.” Then they signed documents saying they had looked in inmates when they had not.
“The defendants had a duty to ensure the safety and security of federal inmates in their care at the Metropolitan Correctional Center,” Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States attorney in Manhattan, said in a statement. “Instead, they repeatedly failed to conduct mandated checks on inmates and lied on official forms to hide their dereliction.”

Woman prison guard in a men’s jail?
Yup, it's almost official now.
"I was with your mother last night, Trebec, and she told me that Epstein didn't kill himself."
I am sure they have made it clear that they are not going to make a deal and will go to prison before they say a thing.
Epstein killed himself.
It appears that many of them are not photo shopped.
"But that's what that guy paid us to do!"
Should start flipping the meme to, “Who killed Epstein?” Followed by,” Who is Gislaine Maxwell? “
LOL BUMP...
I want to know who was in charge of the video that wasn’t working.
I want to know why the expert hired by Epstein’s family to observe the autopsy didn’t challenge the finding of suicide.
He made a statement about the breaking of those bones being rare, and often the result of strangulation. But he made no mention of any marks or bruises indicating strangulation and never directly said a word against the finding of suicide. You can’t break those bones by strangulation without leaving evidence of it.
His statement about the bones was his justification for his fee from the family. That was as close as he could come to challenging anything.
Epstein could have paid off the guards so he could commit suicide for all we know.
Thanks to Bon mots for this!
A lot of sadness and glee around the Clinton household of terror.
That is okay but they have to get the clown that disabled the security cameras too.
I hear they’re very despondent about their situation.
Bttt.

Were the cameras disabled or did the system itself fail?
