洛杉磯市議會要求調查LA28區長與愛潑斯坦的關係，引發爭議

The Los Angeles City Council has voted to ask for an investigation into Casey Wasserman, the head of the LA28 Olympics, because of his past connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was a financier who was later found guilty of serious crimes. The council's decision was unanimous, meaning everyone agreed, and it shows that there is concern in Los Angeles about whether Wasserman should continue leading the Olympics. The council's resolution is mostly symbolic, but it asks the Olympics committee to look closely at Wasserman's past and make sure he fits with the values of the Olympic movement.

Casey Wasserman is a well-known sports and entertainment executive. He once flew on Epstein's private jet and exchanged friendly emails with Ghislaine Maxwell, who was later convicted of helping Epstein commit crimes. These emails were sent in 2003, which is more than twenty years ago. Wasserman has not been accused of any crime, and he has said he regrets his past actions. The LA28 executive committee already hired outside lawyers to check if Wasserman did anything wrong, and they said they did not find anything new. After the city council's vote, the committee said they are focused on preparing for the 2028 Olympics and making sure the event is successful and good for Los Angeles.

Despite this, there are still many calls for Wasserman to step down. Some celebrities, politicians, and even the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, have said he should leave his position. Some clients of Wasserman's talent agency have also decided to stop working with his company. In response, Wasserman said he has started the process of stepping away from his agency because he does not want to be a distraction. He wrote an email to his employees, apologizing for his past mistakes and saying he cares about the people he works with. Wasserman is one of many famous people whose names appear in documents related to Epstein, but he has not been accused of any crime. He said his emails with Maxwell happened long before her crimes were known, and he never did business with Epstein. The Olympics committee says they are now focused on delivering a great event for the city.
