The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday disclosed that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was removed from suicide watch in July after being cleared by a psychologist, the latest detail on the handling of Epstein before his death in a federal jail.
The DOJ disclosed the detail in a letter to lawmakers after the leaders of the House Judiciary Committee demanded answers to a series of questions about Epstein's death in federal custody as he awaited trial on sex trafficking and abuse charges.
Epstein was jailed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan when New York City’s chief medical examiner later determined he killed himself. Lawmakers demanded answers over the death, wondering why Epstein was not being more closely observed after initially being placed on suicide watch in July when he was found with marks on his neck.
“With regard to Mr. Epstein, the Department can confirm that Mr. Epstein was placed on suicide watch in July. Mr. Epstein was later removed from suicide watch after being evaluated by a doctoral-level psychologist who determined that a suicide watch was no longer warranted,” Assistant Attorney General Boyd wrote in a letter to Reps. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Doug Collins (R-Ga.), the chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary panel.
The letter was dated Thursday and released by the DOJ on Friday.

Who was the purported “psychologist”? I bet the person is some especially substandard “professional”. Surely, his/her name and credentials aren’t “top secret”. Let’s see the truth about this “psychologist”.
Would love to hear this psychologist’s views on transvestites.
Parker Brother, Phd.
Probably the psychologist was paid for by Hillary.
Who was the purported “psychologist”?
*******************************
Who knows since they’re not telling. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has interesting political connections and social media accounts that are in the process of being “sanitized”.
My brother was depressed. A Psychiatrist diagnosed him and said he wasn’t. He died soon later. Didn’t want to treat him.
Big Clinton supporter, I bet.
Word was passed to her to take Epstein off the watch list.
I’m also guessing she or he will commit Arkancide soon too.
Dr. Fritz Fassbender did it. He was the humorous character played by Peter Sellers in What’s New Pussycat? (1965)
In the first scene he is on the floor, whirling around and pounding his fists like an out of control child.
Someone said “Is that one of the patients?”
“No, he’s the psychiatrist.”
Let me guess, the shrink’s last name was Podesta.
Nothing to see here, move along...
**Insert pic of Dr. Sigmund Freud Hillary here**
I am sorry for your loss.
I have heard people say they think their shrink was attracted to the profession by their own screwed up problems. Shows my circle of acquaintances.
> Who was the purported “psychologist”?
That question has been danced around as much as the identity of the person who set off the false missile alarm in Hawaii.
What is a doctoral-level psychologist?
My cousin is one. Many years of training. He can’t prescribe meds.
Ohhhh. He or she was a doctoral level psychologist. LOL. Not just some fly-by-night dishwasher who moonlighted as a psychologist like your typical quack.
Because he never was suicidal in the first place. What everyone seems happy to belive was a suicide attempt could just as well have been a failed attempt to kill him, or just a beating from his not-very-nice roommate.
They just moved to a tropical paradise that has no extradition treaty with the US.
another unqualified from Yale or from Clown school?
A not a real doctor hired by an affirmative action deputy warden to cover mediocrity. Also known as the swamp.
