Attia told CBS that he would be resigning effective immediately.Attia was one of a number of high-profile contributors that CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss brought on as part of her planned overhaul of the network news division, seeking to bring more voices into CBS’ linear and digital coverage.Shortly after that announcement, however, the embarrassing exchanges were released by the DOJ, many of which contained crude banter. CBS subsequently pulled a rerun of a 60 Minutes segment that featured Attia.That said, Attia had been expected to remain a contributor to the network, with Weiss being a critic of so-called “cancel culture.” Of course, the Epstein emails damaged his reputation even if he personally did not engage in or know about any criminal activity, as Attia wrote in a note he sent to his team and his patients.Dr. Peter Attia exits CBS News after chummy Epstein emails surface in DOJ dump https://t.co/u0gg4kvHcJ pic.twitter.com/eQ95b7pEiK— New York Post (@nypost) February 23, 2026 The post CBS Contributor Dr. Peter Attia Resigns Following Release of His Disturbing Emails with Jeffrey Epstein appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
