A newly hired contributor to CBS News may soon be out of the job after some really embarrassing emails between him and Jeffrey Epstein became public over the weekend.
Last week, the network announced the names of 19 contributors who would be appearing as experts on its various platforms, including Dr. Peter Attia, who focuses on longevity.
However, Attia’s network gig appears to be short-lived after the latest Epstein files dump showed that he had a longstanding relationship with the disgraced financier that began about eight years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.
A spokesman for Paramount, CBS’s parent company, told The Wrap that the network will likely end Attia’s position as a contributor before it officially begins.
Attia’s emails verge on sycophancy, including one where he says the “biggest problem” about being friends with Epstein is “the life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul.”
