US EditionSenior US health official Oz invited Epstein to Valentine's Day party, documents show
Dr. Mehmet Oz emailed a 2016 Valentine’s Day invite to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein; Oz appears multiple times in released files but faces no criminal charges, Justice Department said.
- On February 1, 2016 Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services , emailed a Valentine's Day invitation to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Reuters reported on Feb 12.
- The Justice Department released millions of Epstein-related files after President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November 2025, revealing Oz's name in records from 2012 to 2016.
- Paperless Post links appeared in the February 1, 2016 message, portions of the redacted message bodies include a January 1, 2016 account message, and Oz appears on a December 9, 2012 updated yes list.
- Oz faces calls to resign after acknowledging he met Epstein twice post-2008 conviction, while lawmakers may review unredacted records and the Department of Health and Human Services did not comment.
- The disclosures have sparked a political backlash for the White House as Attorney General Pam Bondi defended the Justice Department on Wednesday, expressing she was `deeply sorry` to survivors amid broader scrutiny of figures like Elon Musk and Bill Gates.
