Karen Bass Calls for Casey Wasserman Resignation

United States — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has publicly called for Casey Wasserman to step down as chairman of the United States — Los Angeles. This demand follows revelations from U.S. Department of Justice files, which included flirtatious email exchanges from over two decades ago between Casey Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Despite an independent review by O Melveny & Myers, which found Casey Wasserman's interactions with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein did not exceed what was publicly known, the United States — Los Angeles board has backed him to remain in his position. However, Karen Bass, along with United States — Los Angeles County, California Supervisor Janice Hahn and members of the United States — Los Angeles County, California, expressed disappointment with the board's decision. The International Rescue Committee is also monitoring the situation. In response to the fallout, Casey Wasserman announced plans to sell Wasserman, his talent and marketing agency, which has already seen clients like Abby Wambach and Chappell Roan depart.
