A Manhattan federal judge on Thursday pushed back the trial of two Metropolitan Correctional Center employees charged with falsifying records the night Jeffrey Epstein died in custody, as defense attorneys continue to investigate “systemic” failures at the Bureau of Prisons.

The brief adjournment, which moved the planned April trial date to June 22, came at the request of lawyers representing Tova Noel and fellow MCC guard Michael Thomas, who said they needed at least six additional months to review discovery and mount their defense in the case.
