Casey Wasserman, the chairperson of the upcoming LA 2028 Olympics, has publicly regretted sending inappropriate emails to convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, among a batch of documents released by the DOJ.

Casey Wasserman has stated he deeply regrets flirtatious emails with Ghislaine Maxwell dating back to 2003. The correspondence surfaced following a DOJ file release, which has reignited scrutiny on his past associations. Although Wasserman emphasized that he has had no business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the revelation has prompted renewed discussions around former connections with the disgraced financier.

The chairman of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, Casey Wasserman, has expressed deep regret over flirtatious emails he sent to Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003, in light of recent documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Wasserman's messages to Maxwell were included among millions of files made public by the DOJ this past Friday. One notable exchange revealed Wasserman's wish to see Maxwell in a leather outfit, stating, I think of you all the time... So what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit? Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in recruiting and trafficking minors for sexual exploitation by Jeffrey Epstein.

In a statement to the press, Wasserman made it clear that he regrets the correspondence which occurred long before the severity of Maxwell's crimes became known. I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light, he stated.

Wasserman emphasized that he had never had a personal or business relationship with Epstein, asserting that his only known connection was a humanitarian trip with the Clinton Foundation on Epstein's private jet in 2002. I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them, he added.

While the released files do not implicate Wasserman in any wrongdoing, the resurfacing of these emails has reignited public curiosity and scrutiny regarding individuals who have associated with Epstein.

Wasserman, who founded a major sports and entertainment agency, also serves as a trustee for the non-profit Clinton Foundation. As of last month, Maxwell has agreed to testify before Congress regarding the government's handling of the Epstein case, alongside former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, both of whom have been connected to Epstein in the past.

Although Bill Clinton has publicly denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein's actions, the scrutiny continues, particularly after Epstein was found dead in his jail cell while awaiting trial in 2019.
