Casey Wasserman's involvement in Epstein Files

According to a report by The New York Times, Jeffrey Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell had once offered to give the entertainment mogul a massage. In one of the exchanges between Wasserman and Maxwell, "I think of you all the time. So what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?"

Reportedly, last week in a statement, Wasserman regretted his actions and apologised for his communication with Maxwell. He said, "I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. As is well documented, I went on a humanitarian trip as a part of a delegation with the Clinton Foundation in 2002 on the Epstein plane. I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them."

In a Feb. 8 statement to the Los Angeles Times, Wasserman said it was the only time he met Epstein. He said, “Following that trip, where I never witnessed anything inappropriate, I did not speak to, see him or communicate with him ever again.”
