The Epstein scandal just keeps on exposing the corrupt underbelly of the establishment, with fresh files revealing how the financier wormed his way into media circles to control narratives and shield his depravity.
Now, a high-profile CBS News contributor has jumped ship after emails surfaced showing his cozy admiration for the sex trafficker’s “outrageous” lifestyle.
Peter Attia, a Canadian doctor turned media personality and host of the popular podcast “The Drive,” announced his resignation from CBS amid the uproar.

The emails, part of the Justice Department’s massive document dump under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, paint a picture of Attia fawning over Epstein’s exploits while keeping it under wraps.
The correspondence uncovers a series of crude and admiring messages from Attia to Epstein, spanning the mid-2010s, well after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.
In one email, Attia lamented to Epstein’s assistant, “I go into JE withdrawal when I don’t see him.”
Another message highlighted Attia’s fascination: “You know the biggest problem with becoming friends with you? The life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul…”
Emails also show Attia providing medical advice to Epstein and making tasteless jokes about women.
One particularly crude exchange involved Attia writing, “Pu*ssy is, indeed, low carb. Still waiting results on gluten content, though.” This lewd banter drew sharp criticism online.
