The latest batch of government files released on the Jeffrey Epstein case include emails from 2003 between Casey Wasserman, the head of the Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee, and Epstein's one-time girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. The emails contain inappropriate exchanges, including 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?' and discussions about massages and visiting while 'foggy enough' to 'float naked down the beach'.

Why it matters

The release of these emails raises further questions about the connections between powerful individuals and the Epstein scandal, which involved the sex trafficking of minors. As the head of the LA Olympics organizing committee, Wasserman is a prominent figure, and his association with Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking crimes, could impact public trust and the reputation of the upcoming 2028 Olympics.
