Embattled FBI Director Kash Patel Accused of 'Using Government Plane for $50K Concert Date Night' With Much-Younger Girlfriend
FBI Director Kash Patel faces ethics questions for allegedly using bureau resources for a $35,000 concert suite and providing his girlfriend with a $1 million annual security detail.
- On Friday, The New York Times reported FBI Director Kash Patel used a government jet to attend a Philadelphia concert with girlfriend Alexis Wilkins, occupying a private suite costing $35,000 to $50,000.
- Patel assigned four SWAT agents and two SUVs to guard Wilkins in Nashville, a setup a former senior official estimated costs taxpayers approximately $1 million annually, before overtime and other expenses.
- Earlier this week, reports emerged that Patel took a "VIP snorkel" around the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, an underwater tomb holding over 900 military personnel, violating access restrictions at the hallowed site.
- In early April, Patel brought Wilkins to a confidential law enforcement meeting in Allentown regarding fentanyl trafficking, where officials questioned her presence at the sensitive strategy session.
- Patel dismissed mounting criticism as "noise from uninformed internet anarchists and the fake news," yet the FBI director faces ongoing scrutiny over his adherence to government protocols and resource use.
