L.A. City Council Approves Resolution Urging Transparent Review of LA28 Chair Casey Wasserman’s Epstein Files Links

LA28’s board has kept him in place following an outside review by O’Melveny & Myers.

Overview

  • The council voted 12-0 for a nonbinding measure that stops short of calling for Wasserman’s resignation.
  • The resolution urges LA28 and the IOC to ensure leadership reflects Olympic values and to conduct a thorough, transparent review.
  • The DOJ’s recent disclosure included 2003 emails between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell, and no criminal allegations against him have been reported.
  • Wasserman has apologized for the decades-old correspondence and says he had no personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, citing a 2002 humanitarian flight as his only contact.
  • LA28’s executive committee reaffirmed support for him in February after the outside review, as political pressure mounted and he moved to sell his talent agency following some client departures.
