WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 21: U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi swears in the new Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Kash Patel as his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins holds the Bhagavad Gita in the Indian Treaty Room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on February 21, 2025 in Washington, DC. Patel was confirmed by the Senate 51-49, with Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) the only Republicans voting to oppose him. Patel has been a hard-line critic of the FBI, the nation’s most powerful law enforcement agency. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

Overview

  • MS Now, citing two anonymous sources, reports that Nashville-based FBI SWAT agents are protecting country singer Alexis Wilkins, who is dating Director Kash Patel; the FBI has not commented.
  • Former senior FBI agent Christopher O’Leary called the arrangement a misuse of government resources, noting Wilkins is neither Patel’s spouse nor a cohabiting partner.
  • Sources warn that detailing SWAT personnel to Wilkins could delay their response to high‑risk incidents in the Nashville area such as mass shootings or terror attacks.
  • A representative told the New York Post that Wilkins received the detail because she has faced hundreds of credible death threats tied to her relationship with Patel.
  • The report renews scrutiny of Patel’s personal use of an FBI jet for trips linked to Wilkins and a donor’s ranch, while public figures including Rep. Eric Swalwell and Adam Kinzinger criticized the optics and priorities.
