Flight Logs Link DOJ Jet to Penn State Stop as Kash Patel Attends Partner’s Event

Passenger records remain undisclosed, leaving Patel’s presence on the aircraft unconfirmed under rules that require the FBI director to use government planes and reimburse personal travel at a coach fare.

Kash Patel allegedly used the jet to attend his girlfriend's singing performance at a wrestling event in Pennsylvania.

Overview

  • Flight-tracking data for DOJ-registered jet N708JH show a Oct. 25 route from Manassas, Virginia, to State College, Pennsylvania, followed by a departure to Nashville the same evening.
  • Alexis Wilkins posted photos of herself with Patel at the Real American Freestyle event at Penn State, aligning with the plane’s recorded arrival window.
  • The FBI has not confirmed who was on the flights, no passenger manifest has been released, and fact-checkers reported FOIA requests seeking those records.
  • Federal policy designates the FBI director as a required-use traveler, mandating government aircraft and repayment for personal travel at the equivalent coach fare.
  • Patel’s travel has drawn criticism from detractors and some lawmakers, including references to his past remarks about former director Christopher Wray and reports of earlier trips tied to Nashville.
