"Patel's girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, asked FBI agents on her security team at least two times, including once this spring, to drive her friend home, and agents objected to diverting from their assignment, said the sources, who were granted anonymity to discuss nonpublic matters. But Patel insisted they do as Wilkins requested and in one case called the leader of Wilkins' security detail and yelled at him to do so."
"1,000% false and did not happen. And I'd like to give some BTS insight into how this hogwash got printed, Williamson wrote in response. He said he first heard the accusation on Tuesday and everyone, including Patel and Wilkins, denied that the event ever happened. I went back to the reporter and said everyone involved says this is false can you give me any other info so I can provide some proof beyond just a denial? A date? Name of the friend? Anything,' Williamson wrote."
Ben Williamson, FBI Assistant Director for Public Affairs, denounced allegations that Director Kash Patel instructed FBI agents assigned to his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins's security team to drive her inebriated friend home, calling the claim '1,000% false' and saying it did not happen. Williamson said he heard the accusation, that Patel and Wilkins denied it, and that he asked the reporter for details such as a date or a friend's name to corroborate beyond denials. The media account cited anonymous sources alleging agents objected and that Patel yelled at a security detail leader; Williamson criticized the lack of specific sourcing.
