FBI Director Kash Patel is under fire for allegedly yelling at his girlfriend’s security detail, demanding they drive home one of her drunk friends.
In an extraordinary privilege, Alexis Wilkins, the director’s Nashville-based country music singer girlfriend, has her own security team consisting of elite local SWAT agents.
Multiple sources are now telling MS NOW that Wilkins ordered her agents to escort her inebriated friend home at least twice, with one occasion in the spring.
Not wanting to alter their protection plan for Wilkins, the agents pushed back.
In one instance, however, Patel called the security team leader and demanded that they listen to his girlfriend’s orders, the sources revealed.
Wilkins angrily responded to the allegations on Friday, taking aim at intelligence correspondent Ken Dilanian.
‘Ken’s three sources: the voices in his head,’ the 27-year-old wrote.
‘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 also denied the claims.
‘This is made up and did not happen,’ FBI spokesman Ben Williamson said.
In a follow-up statement on X, Williamson added: ‘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.
