FBI PUBLIC AFFAIRS - DIRECTOR'S AM NEWS BRIEFING WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 2019 5:00 AM EDT Barr Orders Warden Of NYC Jail Temporarily Reassigned. Linsey Davis reported on ABC World News Tonight (8/13, story 6, 1:35, Muir, 6.57M) that in "the first fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein suicide," Attorney General Barr has "order[ed] the warden to be pulled from the jail and temporarily reassigned, [and] two staff members on Epstein's unit placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigations. This comes after sources tell ABC News one of the workers was not a designated corrections officer. A law enforcement official says Epstein used a bed sheet to hang himself." Lester Holt reported on NBC Nightly News (8/13, lead story, 2:10, 5.75M), "The warden at New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center has been transferred out for now, and two corrections officers have been sidelined after a break down in protocols left Epstein unmonitored for a number of hours before he was found dead in his cell." The New York Times (8/13, Benner, Ivory, 18.61M) reports, "The warden, Lamine N'Diaye, will be transferred to a Bureau of Prison office in Philadelphia while the F.B.I. and the Justice Department's inspector general conduct investigations' into Epstein's death. The AP (8/13, Mustian, Sisak, Balsamo) reports that "the warden of an institution in upstate New York has been named the acting warden at the jail. Eric Young, president of the union council that represents prison guards, said that such reassignments are routinely done to 'protect the integrity of investigations until any formal action, if any, is warranted." USA Today (8/13, Johnson, 10.31M) reports, "The personnel moves, announced by the Justice Department, suggest the inquiry into the financier's death is moving rapidly. Three days ago, Epstein's death set off a wave of recriminations from his accusers, lawmakers and [Barr], who referred this week to the discovery of 'serious irregularities'
