Casey Wasserman, the chairman of the organizing committee for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, has openly expressed his regrets over previously revealed interactions with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. This acknowledgment followed the recent release of documents by the Department of Justice linked to Epstein’s federal investigations.
Wasserman’s Regret Over Emails
In a statement, Wasserman stated he “deeply regrets” his email correspondence with Maxwell from 2003. These correspondence details were part of a significant document dump that included 3 million files released last Friday.
Maxwell was found guilty in 2021 of conspiring with Epstein to sexually exploit minor girls. Currently, she is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
Details of the Correspondence
Wasserman’s regret stems from lighthearted emails exchanged with Maxwell. In one message, he commented, “I think of you all the time,” and made reference to seeing her in a “tight leather outfit.” In another exchange, Maxwell hinted at nudity on an upcoming trip, to which Wasserman replied, “or something like that.”
Context of the Emails
Wasserman clarified that he has never had a personal or business relationship with Epstein. In his statement, he mentioned a humanitarian trip in 2002 with the Clinton Foundation, during which he traveled on Epstein’s private plane. He stated, “I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them.”
No Criminal Charges Involved
As of now, Wasserman faces no allegations of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein or Maxwell. Besides his role with the LA28 committee, he is also the founder and CEO of Wasserman, a talent and marketing agency that represents various high-profile athletes and entertainers.
Implications of the Document Release
The disclosure of these emails comes in the wake of a Congressional vote in November 2025, which mandated the Department of Justice to release materials pertaining to the Epstein investigation. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.
His extensive network included influential leaders across various sectors, including former President Bill Clinton and President Donald Trump. Despite their historical associations, both leaders have denied any wrongdoing and have not faced any criminal charges related to Epstein.
