LOS ANGELES (Diya TV) — The chairman of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games says he “deeply regrets” sending flirty emails to Ghislaine Maxwell, the jailed associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The messages, sent in 2003, were among millions of files released Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice. Casey Wasserman, who leads the LA 2028 Olympics organizing committee, acknowledged the emails but said they occurred decades ago and long before Maxwell’s crimes came to light. In one message, he reportedly wrote: “I think of you all the time… So what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?”

Wasserman said in a statement, “I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell, which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light.” He emphasized that he never had a personal or business relationship with Epstein. The files raise questions about those connected to Epstein, though they do not show wrongdoing by Wasserman or other individuals featured in the documents. Epstein, a wealthy financier, was convicted of sexual offenses in 2008. He died in a New York prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

Wasserman, a sports and entertainment agent who founded his agency in 2002, said he once traveled on Epstein’s plane in 2002 as part of a Clinton Foundation humanitarian trip. He added, “I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them.”

Wasserman also serves as a trustee for the Clinton Foundation. Photographs show former President Bill Clinton with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s. Clinton has never been accused of wrongdoing by Epstein’s survivors and has denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.

Ghislaine Maxwell, who helped Epstein recruit and traffic teenage girls for abuse, is serving a 20-year prison sentence. She recently agreed to testify under oath before a congressional committee investigating the federal government’s handling of Epstein’s files. The committee has also summoned Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify.

The release of the DOJ files has sparked renewed scrutiny of individuals who were associated with Epstein. While many had personal or professional interactions with him, the documents show that being linked to Epstein does not automatically indicate criminal involvement.
