Los Angeles asks for investigation into LA28 Olympics chief over Epstein ties
AI Summary
The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved a measure urging the Olympics committee to investigate LA28 chief Casey Wasserman over his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The resolution, while symbolic, reflects growing unease in Los Angeles regarding Wasserman's association with Epstein, including his use of Epstein's jet and emails with Ghislaine Maxwell. Wasserman has expressed regret for these past associations, which occurred decades ago, and has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Calls for his removal have come from various figures, including Mayor Karen Bass, and some clients have left his talent firm. However, the LA28 board has stated they have already reviewed Wasserman's involvement and are focused on preparing for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
