What Does It Even Mean to Be 'In the Epstein Files'?
"The health influencer Peter Attia had to resign from a protein-bar company after emails showed him participating in crude banter with Epstein. CBS News, where Attia was recently hired as a contributor, pulled a 60 Minutes segment featuring him. Brad Karp, who in one email to Epstein gushed, "You're amazing," is stepping down as chair of the law firm Paul Weiss."
"Queen's University Belfast has announced that it is removing former U.S. Senator George Mitchell's name from its peace institute and his bust from its campus. Mitchell, who is now 92 years old, presided over the negotiation of the Good Friday agreement in 1998 and served as the school's chancellor for a decade. But the files suggest that Epstein had scheduled a meeting with him as recently as 2013."
Release of the Epstein files has prompted numerous firings, resignations, and public apologies across media, law, academia, and civic organizations. Prominent examples include Peter Attia resigning from a protein-bar company and CBS pulling a 60 Minutes segment, Brad Karp stepping down as chair of Paul Weiss, and Queen's University Belfast removing George Mitchell's name and bust after files showed a scheduled meeting. Los Angeles officials seek the resignation of the Olympic Committee chair over flirtatious emails with Ghislaine Maxwell. Dozens of people have issued statements denying illegal conduct while apologizing for having known Epstein. Epstein is known to have paid or coerced many teen girls, and conventional wisdom holds that he trafficked girls to other powerful men and blackmailed them.
