Overview
- The Justice Department publicly released more than 3 million pages of Epstein-related records, plus over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, according to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
- Documents include extensive exchanges between Attia and Epstein, such as a 2015 chain titled "Got a fresh shipment" (EFTA02496403) and a 2016 message in which Attia wrote, "P---y is, indeed, low carb."
- Variety reported an Attia email to Epstein assistant Lesley Groff stating, "I go into JE withdrawal when I don’t see him," underscoring a continued relationship years after Epstein first faced charges.
- Attia has not addressed the disclosures; his first social post since the release ignored the topic and drew critical responses, and CBS News offered no immediate comment on his contributor status.
- Coverage notes that appearing in the released files does not by itself indicate criminal conduct, even as reporters highlight a 2017 email planning a meeting with Epstein during a family medical crisis Attia described in his book.
