The chairman of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games will remain in his role after its board reviewed mentions of him in recently released files about Jeffrey Epstein.
Casey Wasserman "should continue to lead LA28 and deliver a safe and successful Games," the LA28 executive committee of the board said in a statement.
The talent agent came under fire when the US justice department's files showed he flew on Epstein's private plane in 2003 and exchanged emails with Ghislaine Maxwell. Calls for his resignation ensued, and his agency was dropped by two high-profile clients.
Wasserman has said he regrets his emails with Maxwell and he did not have a relationship with the deceased paedophile.
"We found Mr. Wasserman's relationship with Epstein and Maxwell did not go beyond what has already been publicly documented," the committee said in a statement to the BBC.
