The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to call for an investigation into Casey Wasserman, the chief executive of the LA28 Olympics organizing committee, over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Wasserman leads the organizing committee for the 2028 Summer Olympics, which Los Angeles is scheduled to host. The council's decision reflects growing scrutiny over Wasserman's past associations with Epstein, who died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

The nature and extent of Wasserman's connections to Epstein have not been fully detailed in public records. Epstein maintained relationships with numerous high-profile individuals across business, politics, and entertainment before his arrest and subsequent death.

The investigation request comes as Los Angeles continues preparations for the 2028 Games, which will mark the third time the city has hosted the Summer Olympics. The organizing committee is responsible for coordinating venues, logistics, and operations for the international sporting event.

The council's unanimous vote indicates bipartisan concern about the allegations and their potential impact on the city's Olympic preparations. No timeline has been announced for when the investigation might begin or conclude.
