CBS News Expected to Cut Ties With Newly-Announced Contributor Over Links to Epstein: Report
"1. I was not involved in any criminal activity. 2. My interactions with Epstein had nothing to do with his sexual abuse or exploitation of anyone. 3. I was never on his plane, never on his island, and never present at any sex parties. That said, I apologize and regret putting myself in a position where emails, some of them embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible, are now public, and that is on me. I accept that reality and the humiliation that comes with it."
"CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss announced Attia's addition earlier last week as one of the network's 19 new contributors, before the Friday release of 3.5 million files. The Wrap reported Monday that the Paramount-owned broadcaster reportedly may be reconsidering Attia's position as contributor. According to The Wrap, Attia's name appears more than 1,700 times in the latest tranche of Epstein files that included personal email exchanges with Epstein."
Dr. Peter Attia appears more than 1,700 times in recently released DOJ files that include personal email exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein. CBS News added Attia as one of 19 new contributors, and the network is reportedly reconsidering his position after the release. The files include a 2015 message from Attia describing Epstein's life as outrageous and a 2016 joking nutrition exchange. Bari Weiss’s wife, Nellie Bowles, also appears in emails and says she contacted Epstein while reporting for The New York Times. Attia denied any criminal involvement, denied attendance at Epstein’s plane, island, or sex parties, and apologized for embarrassing emails becoming public.
