Peter Attia
We have significant developments this afternoon. The Trump administration is actively scrubbing the Epstein files that posted publicly over the weekend of all mentions, or rather critical mentions of Donald Trump. Over the past several hours, I have found multiple documents that had serious, if not horrific, allegations against the President of the United States. Those documents have now been taken down by the Justice Department. At the same time, the fallout over the Epstein files is growing fast right now as multiple people have already lost their jobs, multiple powerful people have lost their jobs over the fact that they were connected with Jeffrey Epstein. I, Peter Attia, a new CBS News contributor that was recently hired by Bari Weiss, and the second Lord Mendelssohn, the former ambassador from the United Kingdom to the United States of America. Some pretty significant stuff. Make sure to like, comment, share and subscribe. The more you like, the more people see this. And if you want to support my work, subscribe to my substack. Click the link below. Let's just jump right into it because right now these two documents have been scrubbed from the Epstein files database. The first, EFTA, 016606679. The second EFTA, 01660651. Both documents reference the fact that Donald Trump, the President, had parties at Mar? A Lago called Calendar Girls. Also reference people like Elon Musk in these files. I have the original file saved on a secure laptop on a secure area to make sure that if the Department of Justice decides to keep these down, we always have them. If the Department of Justice tries to put them up with certain redactions, we'll know what was redacted. But ultimately, the DOJ is now in damage control mode trying to take down files that seemingly implicate the President of the United States in some pretty graphic and horrific allegations. Now, these allegations must be backed up by evidence, obviously, and I'm not saying that they are 100% true, but it is very concerning to me that the DOJ is now taking them down off of their website. And it comes as right now, the fallout of the Epstein files is growing fast. CBS News is now expected to cut ties with new contributor Peter Attia, a wellness expert over his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, according to an individual with knowledge of Paramount's thinking. In the latest trove of Epstein files, Attia appears chummy with the sex offender, making crude jokes, offering to help Epstein live longer for the ladies, and gushing about Epstein's outrageous lifestyle. There are more than 1700 instances in which Attia's name appears in the Epstein files, and there are many personal email exchanges with Epstein himself. In one 2015 email, Attia wrote, quote, the worst part about being your friend is that the life you lead is so outrageous and yet I can't tell a soul. Another in 2016, Attia wrote joked about diet with Epstein by saying is indeed low carb, referring to a female's genitalia still waiting results on gluten, though he's not the only one who lost his job. Here is news. Peter Mendelsohn, the former British ambassador to the United States and one of the country's most influential political figures of the past three decades, has officially resigned from the Labor Party overnight and may soon face removal from the House of Lords over his renewed scrutiny of ties between him and the sex offender. This is significant news. Hopefully it's just the beginning of what many. I mean, listen, there will be more. There will be more. This is just the beginning. But the fallout is growing fast now. Meanwhile, someone who is in the files often and who is communicating with Jeffrey Epstein often is Steve Bannon. Steve Bannon, meanwhile, is being praised by Trump world. This is what was posted today, quote, two very good guys who are treated so unfairly by sleepy Joe Biden, but now they are bigger than ever referring to Steve Bannon, despite the fact that Steve Bannon was integrally speaking with Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly now, when asked whether or not he has any concerns about Donald Trump's involvement in the Epstein files, despite the fact that the DOJ is trying to scrub everything right now, here's what Mike Johnson had to say.

Interviewer
Trump's name appears throughout the Epstein files, including in many of the new documents released this week. Now, we want to stress appearing in the Epstein files does not amount to or imply criminal wrongdoing. But do you have any outstanding questions, given that, about the relationship between President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein?
- [05:21]
Mike Johnson
I do not. I mean, I've spoken to the president about this privately and personally many times, and he's spoken very candidly and openly to the public he says the same things privately that he does publicly. He's never had any concern about that. Remember, President Trump was one of the first people that called Epstein out. They kicked him out of Mar a Lago, off the property because he heard of some of the nefarious things he was engaged in. He's never had any concern about that at all.
- [05:45]
Interviewer
He did at one point call these files a Democratic hoax. But let me ask you about something.
- [05:50]
Mike Johnson
Well, he, he, what he said specifically was the hopes of the Democrats Trump trying to turn this into a political issue and use it against him.
- [05:57]
Peter Attia
So Mike Johnson doesn't have any concerns, clearly, despite the fact that Donald Trump's name appears multiple times in the file. And Todd Blanche is now saying that the review is over, despite the fact that there are still millions of documents that have yet to be released. Take a listen to Todd Blanche.

Epstein Victims' Advocate
Release on Friday has already received a response from the victims, from Jeffrey Epstein's victims. I want to show the statement right now. It says survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed while the men who abuse us remain hidden and protected. This is outrageous. The Justice Department cannot claim it is finishing releasing files until every legally required document is released and every abuser and enabler is fully exposed. Will there be more releases?
- [06:39]
Justice Department Spokesperson
I mean, look, first of all, we took great pains, as I explained on Friday, to make sure that we protected victims. This was a, we are talking about a review of 3.5 million pieces of paper that were released on, on Friday. Every time we hear from a victim or their lawyer that they believe that their name was not properly redacted, we immediately rectify that. And the numbers we're talking about, just, just so the American people understand we're talking about.001% of all the materials. And so, and we knew this, I said this on Friday, that, that of course, the nature of this type of review was the volume of materials that were reviewed, that there would be times when this happened. And so we're, we're working hard to make sure that we fix that, and I expect that that will continue.

Epstein Victims' Advocate
Will more documents be released?
- [07:31]
Justice Department Spokesperson
We have released. There are a small number of documents, as I said on Friday, that we're waiting for a judge to, to say we can, we're allowed to release because of a protective order. But there, this, this review is, is over. I mean, we reviewed over 6 million pieces of paper, thousands of videos, thousands, tens of thousands of images and, which is what the statute required us to do. You know, it's interesting. Leadership on the, on the Hill Congressman Massey, Senator Schumer are quick to complain. There is no way they have spent any time looking at the materials we produce. Because I know the producer heroes we produce. We produce them on Friday. By Saturday, they're already complaining about what we did. And by the way, apparently Massey and others wrote a letter to come and review unredacted materials. I didn't get that letter yet. They leaked it.

Peter Attia
The press. He got the letter. He got the letter. But here's the thing. They're trying to turn themselves. Like double turn themselves, triple turn themselves. But you have the truth. We have the truth. In any event, make sure to like, comment, share and subscribe. Spread the word. Because I think more people need to know what is happening right now.
