FBI Director Kash Patel is facing scrutiny over claims that he improperly utilized bureau resources. According to MS NOW, Patel reportedly instructed the FBI security team assigned to protect his girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, to also ensure the safe transport of one of her allegedly drunken friends on at least two occasions in Nashville, Tennessee.
In one reported incident, agents resisted Patels directive, but he insisted, even reportedly calling the head of Wilkinss security detail to express his anger. An FBI spokesperson, Ben Williamson, did not respond to specific questions from MS NOW but issued a general denial, stating, This is made up and did not happen.
Wilkins, a 27-year-old country musician who splits her time living in Nashville, reportedly has her own FBI security detail arranged at Patels request. This detail, drawn from a local SWAT team, is unusual; historically, FBI protection has only been extended to a directors spouse while traveling with the director, not to a girlfriend.
Experts and former law enforcement officials have expressed concern over the alleged misuse of government personnel. Former FBI agent Christopher OLeary told MS NOW, Assigning SWAT officers to protect a girlfriend is inappropriate, and directing them to escort her friend is outrageous. It highlights a severe lapse in judgment and integrity. FBI agents serve the public and uphold the Constitution, which is far from this scenario.
Patel has also recently faced criticism for refusing to leave a plane to address the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk without being issued an FBI raid jacket. Additionally, he is under investigation for allegedly using FBI aircraft for personal travel. Reports suggest that President Trump is unhappy with Patels actions, though the president denies considering his removal. The latest allegations are likely to intensify internal and external scrutiny of Patels conduct.
