Casey Wasserman has faced calls to resign as chairman of the organizing committee for the 2028 Summer Games since it emerged in January that he exchanged flirtatious emails with Epstein's girlfriend and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell two decades ago.
Casey Wasserman said he has never considered stepping down as Los Angeles Olympics chief since his name appeared in files from the investigation into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Wasserman has faced calls to resign as chairman of the organizing committee for the 2028 Summer Games since it emerged in January that he exchanged flirtatious emails with Epstein's girlfriend and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell two decades ago.
Among those who called for his termination was Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, but Wasserman said Thursday he remains in frequent contact with the city's leader as planning for the Games progresses.
"I talk to the mayor weekly, if not more frequently, and our conversations are between us," he told a press conference in Los Angeles.
