LA28 Olympics committee Chair Casey Wasserman faced calls from L.A. officials Tuesday to resign following revelations about racy emails he exchanged with convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell. “I think Casey Wasserman needs to step down,” said L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn, who along with other L.A. politicians is working with the LA28 Olympics organizing committee on planning the Games. AdvertisementState Sen. Lena Gonzalez (D-Long Beach) and three Los Angeles City Council members — Hugo Soto-Martínez, Monica Rodriguez and Imelda Padilla — all called on Wasserman to resign. Like Supervisor Hahn, Soto-Martínez called the revelations about Wasserman a distraction from the L.A. Games. Wasserman was picked by then-Mayor Eric Garcetti to oversee the Olympics in L.A.
