Casey Wasserman, chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee, announced he would sell his talent agency following the release of emails between himself and Ghislaine Maxwell, according to CBS News. The news comes as the United States prepares for the 2026 Winter Olympics, with the US fielding its biggest team ever, and as other significant events unfold, including the ongoing search for Savannah Guthrie's mother and discussions regarding the conflict in Ukraine.
Wasserman's decision to sell his eponymous agency, which represents top pop music artists, was prompted by his appearance in recently released government files related to Jeffrey Epstein, CBS News reported. The documents revealed flirtatious emails exchanged in 2003 between Wasserman and Maxwell, who was later convicted of aiding Epstein in sex trafficking. Wasserman has not been accused of any wrongdoing. In a memo to his staff, Wasserman stated he had begun the process of selling the company.
Meanwhile, the 2026 Winter Olympics are approaching, with the United States fielding a record-breaking team of 232 athletes, CBS News reported. The games will be held in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
