A new DOJ document has revealed that one of Jeffery Epstein's prison guards googled him a few minutes before he was found dead in his cell.

The sex offender's death raised eyebrows at the time about how he got hold of the linen material he used to hang himself.

The legal document also contained records of sexual and physical assault allegations against President Donald Trump, although the white house says it's "completely baseless."

DOJ Document Claims One Of Jeffrey Epstein's Prison Guards Googled Him Before He Was Found Dead

Federal investigators have released a new legal document that contains several suspicious findings in relation to Epstein's death by suicide.

According to the New York Post, one of the guards tasked with monitoring Epstein's tier, Tova Noel, searched for the latest update on the sex offender just moments before he was found dead by hanging in his cell, and also made an unexplained bank deposit of $5,000 ten days prior.

Noel was one of the officers who were accused of falsifying records to claim they checked on Epstein throughout the night of his August 10, 2019, suicide.

However, the document reveals that she googled "latest on Epstein in jail" at 5:42 am and then again at 5:52 am. It was about 40 minutes after her colleague, correctional officer Michael Thomas, found Epstein dead.

The document notes that Noel also searched for furniture online and reportedly missed out on completing her routine checks on Epstein, while Thomas checked for motorcycles.

The Epstein Guard Denied 'Looking Him Up'

The guard, Noel, denied the findings in a sworn statement to the DOJ in 2021, saying she "doesn't remember doing that."

The Epstein guard reportedly also stated that FBI records were not "accurate. I don't recall looking him up."

She reportedly also claimed that most workers in the Manhattan jailhouse failed to do rounds and falsified records about it, insinuating it was quite a common practice.

"I've never worked in the Special Housing Unit and actually done rounds every 30 minutes," she told investigators.

Meanwhile, another document revealed that Chase Bank flagged cash deposits on Noel's account due to a "suspicious activity report" submitted to the FBI in November 2019.

According to the New York Post, a total of 12 deposits began in April 2018, and saw a large deposit of $5,000 on July 30, 2019.

She started working at the Special Housing Unit where Epstein was held on July 7, 2019, just weeks before his death.

Noel and her colleague, Thomas, were eventually fired, but criminal charges against them were later dropped. She then picked up a new job as a medical office assistant at Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care, where she was sued for an alleged assault.

Reports suggest the FBI suspected Noel was likely the orange shape caught in a blurry surveillance video near Epstein's cell on the night of the incident.

"At approximately 10:40 pm, a correctional officer, believed to be Tova Noel, carried linen or inmate clothing up to the L-Tier, the last time any correctional officer approached the only entrance to the SHU tier," the agency wrote.

However, Noel said in a sworn statement to investigators that she last saw Epstein alive "somewhere around after 10" and that she "never gave out linen — ever" or any clothing to inmates because that had been done in the shift before.

Records claim that Epstein hanged himself with a strip of orange clothing. When Noel was asked if she had a hand in Epstein's death, she replied "no," and said that she didn't know why he was in possession of extra linen.

The DOJ also released a new document that saw a woman claim Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump and that the now-president sexually and physically abused her as a minor.

In a 2019 interview with the FBI, the woman claimed she traveled to New York or New Jersey with Epstein and was between 13 and 15 years old.

She claimed she met the billionaire politician "in a very tall building with huge rooms," and although people were there, Trump asked them to leave and went ahead to sexually assault her.

According to USA Today, the White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has since slammed the report, saying they are "completely baseless accusations, backed by zero credible evidence."

The release comes after multiple outlets reported that documents related to the accusation against Trump were being withheld.
