New details about the LA28 chairman’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, as well as anxiety over key infrastructure projects, have thrown the planning into disarray.

The chairman, Casey Wasserman, has faced criticism ever since his name surfaced in the Epstein files. Mayor Karen Bass is the latest official to call on him to step down.

Casey Wasserman, a Los Angeles entertainment executive and the head of the 2028 Olympic Games, has lost clients since his emails with Ghislaine Maxwell surfaced.

Casey Wasserman exchanged flirtatious messages more than two decades ago with Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime companion of Jeffrey Epstein. The 2028 board said its review found no other indiscretions related to Mr. Epstein.
