00:00Dr. Peter Attia is exiting CBS News as a contributor after his ties to Jeffrey Epstein surfaced.
00:06The wellness guru's spokesman told USA Today the contributor role was newly established and hadn't meaningfully begun.
00:14They added that Attia stepped back so his involvement wouldn't distract from the important work being done at CBS.
00:21The Epstein files notably included crude email exchanges between Attia and the convicted sex offender.
00:27Attia apologized on X on February 2, saying he wasn't involved in any criminal activity and met Epstein in 2014
00:35through a health care leader.
00:37He said they met seven to eight times at Epstein's New York City home, and he regretted emails he called
00:44embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible.
00:47Attia has not been charged with any crimes in connection to Epstein.
