"When Donald Trump selected Kash Patel to serve as FBI director, initial concerns from critics revolved around the president tapping a staunch loyalist and deep-state conspiracy theorist to lead one of the nation's key intelligence agencies. While apprehension surrounding Patel's beliefs remain, he has recently come under fire for his use of government resources: utilizing a required FBI plane for personal trips and providing his country-singer girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, a security detail of FBI SWAT agents based in the Nashville field office."
"Now a new report suggests that Wilkins's security perks extend beyond her own personal use. Sources tell MS NOW that Wilkins directed members of her security detail to escort her friends home following late-night partying in Nashville at least twice this year. According to the outlet, when agents initially balked at diverting from their assignment to follow Wilkins's order, Patel backed her request with sources saying the FBI director yelled at the leader of Wilkins's detail on one occasion over the issue."
Kash Patel used a required FBI plane for personal trips and provided Alexis Wilkins a security detail of FBI SWAT agents in the Nashville field office. Sources say Wilkins directed members of her security detail to escort friends home after late-night partying in Nashville at least twice this year. When agents balked at diverting from assignments, Patel reportedly backed Wilkins and yelled at the leader of her detail on one occasion. The FBI denied those allegations. Other outlets report agents were reassigned to provide Wilkins security at events in Georgia and Utah. A girlfriend receiving a security detail is unusual compared with past directors' spouses.
