Casey Wasserman's Statement on Past Communications

Casey Wasserman, the chief of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, has issued an apology regarding past communications with Ghislaine Maxwell. These communications, which occurred over 20 years ago, were revealed in newly published files by the United States Department of Justice. The emails, dating back to 2003, were part of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence following her 2021 conviction on charges including sex trafficking of a minor. Jeffrey Epstein, her former associate, died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial.

In a statement released on Sunday, Wasserman expressed regret over his association with Maxwell, stating, “I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them.” He further clarified that his correspondence with Maxwell occurred before the revelation of her and Epstein's criminal activities.

International Olympic Committee's Position

The International Olympic Committee (IOC), which collaborates closely with Wasserman in organizing the Summer Olympic Games, declined to comment on the situation. IOC President Kirsty Coventry stated, “I believe Mr. Wasserman has put out his statement, and we have nothing further to add.”

When questioned about the potential impact of the Wasserman emails on the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics, Coventry remarked on the historical presence of distractions prior to Olympic events. She referenced previous instances such as the Zika virus before the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympics. Coventry emphasized the focus on the opening ceremony, highlighting the enduring spirit of the Games.
