FBI Director Kash Patel is facing criticism over accusations that he allegedly shouted at his girlfriend’s security team, instructing them to chauffeur one of her intoxicated friends home. Alexis Wilkins, Patel’s girlfriend and a country music artist from Nashville, reportedly has a security detail composed of top-tier local SWAT officers. Sources have informed MS NOW that Wilkins has, on at least two occasions, directed these agents to escort her inebriated friend back home, with one such instance occurring in the spring.

The security team, however, resisted altering their protection plans for Wilkins, leading to some tension. In one notable incident, Patel allegedly called the head of the security team, insisting they comply with Wilkins’ demands, according to the sources. Wilkins, in response to these allegations, expressed her frustration on Friday, particularly targeting intelligence correspondent Ken Dilanian. “Ken’s three sources: the voices in his head,” the 27-year-old commented.

She further criticized the narrative, saying, “Nice try, Ken. Let’s try something even remotely believable next time instead of some party girl trope that’s lame and verifiably false.” The FBI has also dismissed the allegations, with spokesman Ben Williamson stating, “This is made up and did not happen.” In a subsequent statement on X, Williamson elaborated, “I went and checked with everyone involved – Alexis (who doesn’t even drink), the Director, the Detail, and more – all of whom said it didn’t happen.”

Wilkins has frequently travelled with Patel, 45, on the director’s $60 million government jet – one he has to take because of his high-profile intelligence job. That jet-setting has raised the eyebrows of critics who argue Wilkins should not be privy to the luxuries of her beau’s government-mandated private travel. And it’s not the first time the FBI director has reportedly ripped into his girlfriend’s security team.

At a National Rifle Association event in the spring, where Wilkins was set to sing ‘The Star-Spangled Banner,’ her security detail, another local SWAT team from the Atlanta area, left before the event had concluded, sources told the New York Times. The lapse in protection infuriated Patel, who has been concerned about his girlfriend’s protection amid threats against her online, the outlet reported. The 45-year-old director fumed at the detail’s commander, stressing his concerns about their failure to communicate their movements.

Still, for years, Patel criticized former FBI Director Christopher Wray for using the FBI’s resources. ‘Chris Wray doesn’t need a government-funded G-5 jet to go to vacation,’ he said on The Glenn Beck Program. ‘Maybe we ground that plane – $15,000 every time it takes off.’ ‘Go take their money. Chris Wray doesn’t need a private jet,’ Patel said in 2023 on Steve Bannon’s show. Patel has repeatedly defended himself and his girlfriend’s travel and sought to deflect public attacks against her, including allegations about her allegiance to the US, which they have claimed are unsubstantiated.

Wilkins has opened several defamation lawsuits in recent months against her detractors online. ‘The disgustingly baseless attacks against Alexis — a true patriot and the woman I’m proud to call my partner in life — are beyond pathetic,’ Patel wrote on X last month while the lawsuits were in the news. ‘She is a rock-solid conservative and a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than most will in ten lifetimes. I’m so blessed she’s in my life.’
