The warden in charge when Jeffrey Epstein ended his life in his jail cell is being moved to a leadership position at another federal correctional facility, putting him back in the field with inmates despite an ongoing investigation into the financier’s death, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
The federal Bureau of Prisons is planning to move Lamine N’Diaye to the role at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security
prison in Burlington County, New Jersey, the people said.
The move comes months after Attorney General
William Barr ordered N’Diaye be reassigned to a desk post at the Bureau of Prisons’ regional office in
Pennsylvania after Epstein’s death as the
FBI and the Justice Department’s inspector general investigated.
