Peter Attia, CBS’s longevity expert, has resigned from his role after facing heavy criticism over his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. His resignation came just one day after John Oliver publicly called out CBS on Last Week Tonight for keeping Attia on staff despite the controversy.
Attia, who is 52, was brought into CBS News in January by Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss. His resignation took effect immediately on Monday morning. His name appeared 1,700 times in the recently released Epstein files, pointing to what many have described as an uncomfortably close relationship between the two.
