Overview
- Newly released U.S. Justice Department files include 2003 emails between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell with personal and suggestive language, including a request to see her in a tight leather outfit.
- In a memo, Wasserman apologized and said his interactions with Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were limited and predated public revelations, citing a 2002 humanitarian flight.
- He told staff he had become a distraction and confirmed he has initiated a sale process for the agency without disclosing potential buyers or timing.
- Client departures followed the disclosures, including singer Chappell Roan, country artist Orville Peck, Weyes Blood, and retired soccer star Abby Wambach.
- After an external-assisted review, the LA28 executive committee said his ties did not exceed what was publicly documented and endorsed his continued leadership of the 2028 Games.
