Canada’s incoming prime minister, Mark Carney, has some
photos with Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell that he’d
rather you not see.
Opponents are circulating the 2013 photos, which show Carney
smiling alongside Maxwell — who was convicted of sex trafficking in 2021. The
shots were taken at a music festival in the UK.
Carney’s camp says that the images are nothing more than a
political ploy ahead of the Canadian federal election later this year.
In the photos, the 59-year-old was joined by his wife and
another man, all of whom appeared friendly with Maxwell as they laughed and
gestured at the stage.
The images first recirculated online in January after Carney
—a former governor of the central banks for both Canada and the UK — announced
his bid to replace outgoing Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
They got a fresh airing after he was picked to lead the
Liberal Party on Sunday and become the next prime minister.
But Carney’s camp insists there’s nothing to see in the
photos, claiming he and Maxwell barely know each other.
“This is another example of how [Conservative leader] Pierre
Poilievre and [his PR head] Jenni Byrne have always played politics and it
shows again how terrified they are to fight Mark Carney,” a source told the
Toronto Sun in January.
Carney’s connection to Maxwell was extremely removed, the
source said, explaining she went to high school with his sister-in-law.
“They have bumped into each other in public settings,” the
source said. “They are not friends.”
