The warden at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York where disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was found unresponsive has been temporarily reassigned pending the outcome of multiple investigations into Epstein’s death.

“Today, the Attorney General directed the Bureau of Prisons to temporarily assign the warden at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York to the Bureau’s Northeast Regional Office pending the outcome of the FBI and OIG investigations into the apparent suicide of Jeffrey Epstein, a former MCC inmate," Department of Justice spokesperson Kerri Kupec said in a statement.
