Overview
- The LA28 executive committee met Wednesday and kept Casey Wasserman in place after hiring O’Melveny & Myers to examine his past interactions with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
- The review found no contact beyond a 2002 humanitarian flight on Epstein’s plane and a 2003 email exchange with Maxwell, and noted Wasserman fully cooperated.
- The committee cited his decade of leadership and said he should continue to lead LA28 and deliver a safe and successful Games.
- Fallout continued as high-profile clients, including singer Chappell Roan and soccer legend Abby Wambach, left Wasserman’s agency and called for his resignation.
- Political pressure persisted from Los Angeles officials urging his exit, even as Olympic leaders signaled support, with an IOC vice president voicing full trust and the USOPC backing the organizing committee.
