""In recently released emails, Wasserman was linked to Jeffrey Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. The board retained a law firm to investigate, the statement said, and the review did not uncover any behavior beyond what was already known: a "single interaction with Epstein" on a plane flight for a humanitarian mission and raunchy emails with Maxwell, both two decades ago, before the "deplorable crimes" of both became public.""
""Based on these facts, as well as the strong leadership he has exhibited over the past ten years, Mr. Wasserman should continue to lead LA28 and deliver a safe and successful Games,""
""Our dealings are not with Casey," Manfred said Thursday at the MLB owners' meetings. "Our dealings are with the institution of the Olympics.""
Major League Baseball is close to an agreement for its players to participate in the 2028 Olympics. Commissioner Rob Manfred said the league's dealings are with the institution of the Olympics, not with Casey Wasserman. The LA28 executive committee issued a statement backing Wasserman amid artists leaving his agency and civic leaders calling for his resignation. Recently released emails linked Wasserman to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The board retained a law firm and reported a single interaction on a humanitarian flight and raunchy emails from two decades ago. The committee concluded Wasserman should continue to lead LA28 and deliver a safe, successful Games. Epstein died by suicide after indictment; Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking in 2021. Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said he would let the committee statement speak for itself.
