The wellness influencer's name appears frequently in a cache of Epstein files released by the Justice Department earlier this month.

In a statement, a spokesman for Attia said his "contributor role was newly established and had not yet meaningfully begun."

"As such," the spokesman added, "he stepped back to ensure his involvement didn’t become a distraction from the important work being done at CBS. He wishes the network and its leadership well and has no further comment at this time."

Attia's name appears frequently in a cache of Epstein files released by the Justice Department earlier this month. In the 2010s, according to the files, the two men traded jokes, arranged times to meet and chatted about the late financier's health.

Attia has not been accused of any crimes.

If we can bin a minor reporter for being in the files. why not POTUS?

I don't know why, but this feels like one of the middle cards in the house of cards just got pulled. Is is Epstein avelanche time???????
