LOS ANGELES, Feb 17 — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in an interview yesterday she wants Casey Wasserman, whose name was mentioned in the Epstein files, to step down as the chief organiser of the 2028 Summer Olympics.

Bass told CNN it was “unfortunate” the LA28 organisers were supporting Wasserman after revelations he exchanged flirtatious emails with Jeffrey Epstein’s girlfriend and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell two decades ago.  — AFP
