High-profile resignations have started after the Department of Justice dropped 3 million documents relating to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the American financier who was found dead in August 2019 in a Manhattan jail cell as he faced sex trafficking counts.

Casey Wasserman, a talent executive and chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee, announced on Feb. 13 plans to sell his talent agency after his name appeared in the Epstein files.
