FBI Director Kash Patel has authorized a full protective detail for his girlfriend, marking the first time in bureau history that an unmarried partner of an FBI director has received such security measures.
Alexis Wilkins, a 27-year-old country singer and conservative activist, now travels with elite SWAT agents assigned from the Nashville field office.
Two sources familiar with FBI protective operations stated that agents assigned to Wilkins would face delays or unavailability if a mass shooting or terrorist incident occurred in Middle Tennessee.
Former senior FBI agent Christopher O’Leary provided his assessment of the situation to MS Now. “This is a clear abuse of position and misuse of government resources,” O’Leary said. “She is not his spouse, does not live in the same house or even the same city.”
O’Leary drew attention to the contrast with recent security decisions. “I would also add that this comes at a time when security details were stripped from people who are under threat from IRGC QF,” O’Leary said, referring to Iran’s Quds Force.
Reports emerged last month that Patel used the FBI’s $60 million Gulfstream jet to attend a Penn State wrestling event where Wilkins performed the national anthem, Resist the Mainstream previously reported.
During his time as a Trump administration official, Patel criticized former FBI Director Christopher Wray for similar use of bureau aircraft.
Questions remain about the July 2024 assassination attempt on President Trump by Thomas Matthew Crooks, the unsolved January 6 pipe bomb incidents and the Jeffrey Epstein client list.
Patel halted an investigation overseen by National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent. Resist the Mainstream reported that the probe examined potential foreign involvement in the assassination of Kirk at Utah Valley University.
Wilkins filed three separate $5 million defamation lawsuits against conservative commentators. The legal actions target individuals who spread or amplified theories characterizing her as a Mossad agent and Israeli spy attempting to manipulate Patel.
The defendants are Rift TV CEO Elijah Schaffer, former FBI agent and whistleblower Kyle Seraphin and former Utah Senate candidate Sam Parker. The lawsuits address online claims alleging Wilkins serves as a foreign operative.
Schaffer retweeted content about Mossad’s alleged use of female agents to target individuals. He attached a photograph of Patel and Wilkins without additional text. The complaint alleges this suggested the theory applied to Wilkins.
Seraphin discussed circulating rumors about Wilkins on his podcast. He described her as “apparently… a former Mossad agent” while acknowledging the speculation. The lawsuit claims he promoted the narrative for financial gain through increased viewership.
The three defendants now face potentially significant legal expenses.
