The warden of the federal jail in New York City where wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself was reassigned out of that post on Tuesday by Attorney General William Barr, the Justice Department said. A lawyer for Epstein did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment. The Bureau of Prisons also did not respond.

Epstein, who sources have said hanged himself, was being held without bail in a section of the MCC known as the Special Housing Unit, or SHU, which is used for high-profile prisoners who are at risk of violence from the general population, as well as for inmates who are a threat to others.
