Staffers believe network has decided to retain Attia, who issued apology after inappropriate Epstein emails, as on-air analyst
Two weeks after a trove of files revealed extensive – and inappropriate – communications between Jeffrey Epstein and a recently named CBS News contributor, the longevity expert Peter Attia, the network appears to have settled on keeping him.
“Everyone internally unofficially concluded he was staying as of about a week ago,” one CBS News staffer told the Guardian.
Officially, CBS News has been silent about Attia, and declined to comment when asked on Friday. Attia is one of the 19 on-air contributors that editor-in-chief Bari Weiss said she was “so excited” to announce during an all-staff meeting on 27 January.
“We’re pissed off about it,” a second CBS News staffer, who was also not authorized to comment, said.
