"Emails between Attia and Epstein are included in the Justice Department's file library, where database search returns 1,838 results linked to the author's name. Many messages date from the mid-2010s, after Epstein's 2008 conviction but before his 2019 arrest. Some involve medical discussions; others contain crude remarks. Attia acknowledged the correspondence in a public apology posted to X, describing the emails as embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible."
"What I wrote in that email reads terribly, and I own that, Attia said, adding that he met Epstein in 2014 and visited his Manhattan home several times, while denying any involvement in criminal conduct. The following email is what I sent my team last night. I sent a similar version to my patients, also. *** You've put your trust, your credibility, and your hard work into what we have built together, and I take that responsibility seriously."
CBS News staffers say the network has quietly decided to retain contributor Peter Attia after emails linking him to Jeffrey Epstein were released. Attia was one of 19 new on-air contributors introduced in late January, and his correspondence appears among 1,838 Justice Department file library results tied to his name. Many messages date from the mid-2010s; some discuss medical matters while others include crude remarks. Attia publicly apologized on X, called the emails embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible, confirmed meeting Epstein in 2014 and visiting his Manhattan home, and denied any criminal involvement. He stepped down as chief science officer at a snack bar company he invested in.
