Overview
- Public flight logs show a DOJ-registered jet flew on October 25 from Manassas, Virginia, to State College, Pennsylvania, before departing for Nashville.
- Social media posts place FBI Director Kash Patel at a Real American Freestyle event at Penn State alongside his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins.
- The FBI has not said whether Patel was aboard the government jet, and no passenger manifest has been released.
- Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin amplified the allegations on X and in a podcast, citing the government shutdown and delayed pay to criticize the travel.
- Federal rules require the FBI director to use government aircraft and to reimburse for personal trips at commercial rates, and Patel has told lawmakers the requirement is mandatory under Congress’s directives, with prior reports noting multiple Nashville visits.
