LOS ANGELES (AP) — Casey Wasserman’s job as chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee is safe after the LA28 board’s executive committee met Wednesday to discuss his appearance in recently released government files on Jeffrey Epstein.

The board hired a law firm to conduct a review of Wasserman’s past interactions with Maxwell and Epstein, saying the sports and talent agency founder fully cooperated with the review.
Sources said that LA28’s board unanimously backed Chair Casey Wasserman to remain despite his name surfacing in Epstein-related files, with no dissenters.
