Two US Bureau of Prisons guards admitted falsifying records after financier Jeffrey Epstein’s jail death in a deferred prosecution deal that will spare them a criminal record if they fully cooperate with investigators.
Guards Tova Noel and Michael Thomas agreed to the deals in Manhattan federal court as they admitted their guilt before Judge Analisa Torres to accusations in an indictment that will be dismissed if they follow all the rules of their agreement for six months.
The judge later signed orders approving the deal.
“You shall truthfully and completely disclose all information with respect to the activities of yourself and others related to your employment by the Bureau of Prisons, which information can be used for any purpose,” the judge told them as she read details of the deal from court documents.

Executive Order 13933, titled “Protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues and Combating Recent Criminal Violence,” was enacted by former President Donald Trump in July 2020 in response to the Black Lives Matter protests and unrest in downtown Portland, Oregon. Current President Joe Biden issued a countermanding order nullifying E.O. 13933. Trump’s order required the United States attorney general to prosecute persons who vandalized or destroyed federal property like statues or courthouses. Trump’s order also sent hundreds of officials from the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies to Portland, costing taxpayers millions of dollars, according to a report from the Office of the Inspector General. Biden’s countermanding order also negated Trump’s plan to build a garden with hundreds of lifelike statues of historical figures, which the former president approved during his last few days in office.
