New Epstein files include emails between LA Olympics leader Wasserman and
Ghislaine Maxwell
LOS ANGELES (AP) --- The latest collection of government files released on
Jeffrey Epstein include emails from 2003 between Casey Wasserman, the head of
the Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee, and Epstein's one-time
girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Among the exchanges included Wasserman telling Maxwell "I think of you all the
time. So, what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?"
There is also an email exchange about massages and one in which Maxwell asks
whether it will be foggy enough during an upcoming visit "so that you can float
naked down the beach and no one can see you unless they are close up?"
Wasserman responds, "or something like that."
In a statement released Saturday, Wasserman said "I deeply regret my
correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell," which he said occurred "long before her
horrific crimes came to light."
"I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. As is
well documented, I went on a humanitarian trip as part of a delegation with the
Clinton Foundation in 2002 on the Epstein plane. I am terribly sorry for having
any association with either of them," he said.
In 2021, Maxwell was convicted on five counts of sex trafficking and abuse of
minors. She is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
The documents were disclosed as mandated by a law passed requiring the
government to open its files on the late financier and his confidant and
onetime girlfriend, Maxwell. Epstein killed himself in a New York jail cell in
August 2019, a month after being indicted on federal sex-trafficking charges.
Wasserman built a sports and talent agency that represents top players in
football, basketball and baseball, along with big-name actors such as Adam
Sandler and Brad Pitt.
He has grabbed more headlines recently as the frontman for the LA Olympic
effort; his lobbying played a big role in bringing the Summer Olympics back to
the U.S. in 2028. Los Angeles previously hosted in 1984 and this will be the
first Summer Games in the United States since Atlanta in 1996.
In 2021, Wasserman divorced his wife of 20 years, Laura Ziffren Wasserman.
