The House Oversight Committee is scheduled to interview a prison guard who was on duty at the New York jail where Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019.

Epstein, the financier who faced federal sex trafficking charges, was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on August 10, 2019. His death was ruled a suicide by hanging.

The circumstances surrounding Epstein's death have been the subject of ongoing scrutiny and investigation. The financier was being held without bail while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking minors.

The upcoming interview represents part of the committee's continued examination of the events surrounding Epstein's death at the federal detention facility. Details about the specific guard to be interviewed or the timing of the interview have not been disclosed.

Epstein's death occurred while he was in federal custody, prompting multiple investigations into the circumstances and security procedures at the facility where he was housed.
