The latest collection of government files released on Jeffrey Epstein include emails from 2003 between Casey Wasserman, the head of the Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee, and Epstein’s one-time partner, Ghislaine Maxwell. Among the exchanges include Wasserman telling Maxwell “I think of you all the time. So, what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?” Wasserman released a statement saying he deeply regretted his correspondence with Maxwell and that he never had a business or personal relationship with Epstein. Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for convictions on sex-trafficking charges.
Casey Wasserman is keeping his job leading the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics after the LA28 board reviewed his past Jeffrey Epstein-linked contacts. The board’s executive committee met Wednesday to discuss his appearance in newly released government files. The Justice Department documents show Wasserman exchanged flirtatious emails in 2003 with Ghislaine Maxwell. The board says he faces no accusations of wrongdoing. LA28 says an outside legal firm helped conduct a review with Wasserman’s full cooperation. The executive committee says his relationship with Epstein and Maxwell does not go beyond what is already public. The board says his leadership remains strong.
