Olympic Games: LA28 chairperson has no plans of stepping down over alleged Epstein ties

# Olympic Games: Casey Wasserman says he is not planning on resigning as chairperson of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Earlier this year, LA mayor Karen Bass called on him to resign given his past ties with Jeffrey Epstein’s confidant, Ghislaine Maxwell. Wasserman has previously stated his 2003 email exchanges with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for trafficking underage girls for Epstein, took place before her crimes were known. He says he and Bass have a shared vision on delivering the greatest Games.
