What was revealed in the latest dump of Epstein files:
Some of the messages that have drawn the most attention are vague. Among the 1,700-plus documents is an email exchange dated June 24, 2015. Dr. Attia initiated it with an email to Mr. Epstein under the subject line “got a fresh shipment”; it is not clear what he was referring to. Mr. Epstein replied, “me too,” with a photo that is redacted in the released document. Dr. Attia responded, “Please tell you found that picture on line…bastard,” to which Mr. Epstein said, “fraid not.”
Dr. Attia then wrote: “You the biggest problem with becoming friends with you? The life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul…”
Attia's hapless, after-the-fact explanation:
In his statement, Dr. Attia said that the shipment he had been referring to was the medication metformin — a diabetes treatment that some people use to try to slow the effects of aging — and that Mr. Epstein’s photo had been “of an adult woman.”
“Reading that exchange now is very embarrassing, and I will not defend it,” Dr. Attia wrote in his statement. “I’m ashamed of myself for everything about this. At the time, I understood this exchange as juvenile, not a reference to anything dark or harmful.” He added that his reference to being unable to tell anyone about Mr. Epstein’s “outrageous” life was about “the discretion commanded by those social and professional circles–the idea that you don’t talk about who you meet, the dinners you attend and the power and influence of the people in those settings.”
