Among other things, the timeline doesn't fit. Mikey was born on January 30, 1972. If his Wikipedia article is accurate, he seems to have spent his entire life in Louisiana prior to being seated in Congress in January 2016. It's hard to see how he would have ever crossed paths with Epstein, who was arrested for the last time on July 6, 2019.

I get wanting to suspect the worst of that sanctimonious stuffed shirt, but the idea of his ever having been associated with Epstein’s pedo/sex trafficking activities is extremely farfetched, imo.
