The federal prison warden in charge when Jeffrey Epstein killed himself will soon oversee inmates again — just 6 months after Attorney General William Barr reassigned him to a desk post amid probes into the pedophile’s suspicious death, according to a new report.

Lamine N’Diaye will begin his new leadership role at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security prison in Burlington County, New Jersey, on Feb. 2, sources told The Associated Press. It’s unclear why he will again be tasked with supervising inmates after Epstein’s stunning death riled top justice department officials and ended the child sex abuse case against him.

N’Diaye’s guards at the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Metropolitan Correctional Center, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, are accused of failing to check on Epstein every half hour as required and falsifying reports to show they had. Instead, they browsed the web and napped while Epstein hung himself just 15 feet away, according to prosecutors.

Noel and Thomas are each criminally charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and with producing false records.

Epstein’s Aug. 10 death sparked conspiracy theories and revealed chronic mismanagement, including severe understaffing, at the Manhattan prison.

Barr reassigned N’Diaye to a regional office desk post less than two weeks later and removed the acting director of the Bureau of Prisons, Hugh Hurwitz.
