Organizers for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles announced Wednesday that Casey Wasserman would remain in his leadership role, despite growing calls for his resignation due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The decision came after the LA28 board's executive committee reviewed Wasserman's past interactions with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, according to a statement.
Wasserman, a prominent sports agent and executive, has represented major figures in entertainment. His family has deep roots in Hollywood, and he is a major Democratic Party donor. The announcement followed the release of new files related to Epstein, which included flirtatious emails exchanged in 2003 between Wasserman and Maxwell, Epstein's associate. In these emails, Wasserman wrote, "I think of you all the time."
Meanwhile, United States women's national soccer team legend Abby Wambach announced she was leaving the Wasserman Agency due to the founder's involvement in the Epstein files, according to Fox News.
