The warden who was in charge when Jeffrey Epstein died in his jail cell is being moved to a new correctional facility in New Jersey.
Lamine N’Diaye, the warden, was assigned a new leadership position at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security prison in Burlington County, New Jersey, by the Bureau of Prisons, according to the Associated Press.
In August 2019, Attorney General William Barr assigned N’Diaye to a desk job after Epstein’s death while federal authorities investigated the situation. Sources said that N’Diaye will fill the new role beginning Feb. 2.
The Justice Department is still investigating the circumstances and the sequence of events that led to Epstein’s death.
Before his death in the summer of 2019, Epstein was charged with sexually abusing underage girls in Florida and New York, with some as young as 14.
