Oh My! LA officials call on LA2028 Olympics chief to resign over Epstein files
https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2026/02/04/casey-wasserman-ghislaine-maxwell-la-olympics-epstein-files/88505664007/Local officials in Los Angeles are calling on Casey Wasserman to resign as LA2028 Olympics chief for communicating with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell more than 20 years ago, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
New files released related to late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein showed flirtatious emails between Wasserman and Maxwell as early as 2003. Wasserman has denied having a personal or business relationship with Epstein.
Reuters was not immediately able to reach LA28 officials for comment. Wasserman on Sunday, Feb. 1, apologized for his association with Maxwell, saying their relationship came before her or Epstein's crimes were revealed.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, State Senator Lena Gonzalez and a trio of city council members were among those who called for Wasserman to resign, according to the report on Tuesday, Feb. 3.
