Newly surfaced federal records are reigniting debate around the final hours of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, whose death inside a New York federal jail in 2019 continues to fuel global scrutiny. According to FBI forensic records, correctional officer Tova Noel allegedly searched online for the latest information about Epstein twice during the early morning hours inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. Digital logs show searches conducted at 5:42 a.m. and again at 5:52 a.m., while Noel was assigned to the Special Housing Unit where Epstein was being held. The timeline has drawn fresh attention because during sworn testimony in 2021, Noel stated that she did not recall searching for Epstein online, contradicting the digital activity documented by investigators. FBI forensic analysis later flagged multiple Epstein-related searches on Bureau of Prisons desktop computers used during the overnight shift. WATCH

A major shift has unfolded at one of India’s most closely watched technology gatherings.

The development arrives amid renewed international scrutiny following the resurfacing of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein, which have reignited global discussion around past associations involving prominent figures. Gates has previously acknowledged limited contact with Epstein and expressed regret over those interactions, while firmly denying any wrongdoing. WATCH
