Kash Patel's nemesis busts him for using FBI jet to fly to his girlfriend's concert

Source: Raw Story

Published October 29, 2025 1:45 PM ET

FBI Director Kash Patel was busted by his nemesis jetting off to his country singer girlfriend's concert in a government jet.

The bureau director traveled Saturday to State College, Pennsylvania, on a trip that caught the eye of former FBI agent-turned-conservative podcaster Kyle Seraphin, who has been a constant critic of Patel's "thirsty" social media posting and "incompetent, bumbling actions," reported The Bulwark's Will Sommer.

"Patel traveled to Penn State, not to announce new findings from the agency’s sports gambling investigations, or as part of the search for Jimmy Hoffa’s remains, but as a boyfriend supporting his girlfriend’s work," Sommer wrote.

Country singer Alexis Wilkins sang at the university as part of “Real American Freestyle,” a new unscripted wrestling league founded by Hulk Hogan. Patel appeared alongside her in a picture she posted on X.

That’s a perfectly non-scandalous act—endearing, even. But what caught the eye of former FBI agent and Patel nemesis Kyle Seraphin was how Patel ended up at Penn State.

Seraphin noted that a government jet that took off from a northern Virginia airport, then landed at State College, Pennsylvania’s regional airport near the campus, right around the time Patel was headed there. The FBI didn’t respond to a request for comment. But the jet is registered with the FAA as government-owned, with its owner’s address as the FBI’s Washington headquarters. Earlier that week, the jet traveled from Washington to Philadelphia, an itinerary that matches Patel’s appearance at a press conference in that city.

As FBI director, Patel is required to fly on government jets to handle his communications and security. Directors are supposed to pay the government at a commercial-flight rate for their personal travel, meaning each personal trip costs the government vastly more than it receives as reimbursement.

Meet Kash Patel’s girlfriend Alexis Wilkins, 26: the country singer – and Capitol Hill press secretary – has reportedly been dating Donald Trump’s 44-year-old FBI director nominee for 2 years

Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s choice for director of the FBI, is reported to have met his country-singer girlfriend Alexis Wilkins at a conservative ReAwaken America event – here’s what else we know
Snip...

The couple – who have an 18-year age gap – met at a far-right, Christian nationalist ReAwaken America symposium and rally in October 2022, an insider reportedly told the Daily Mail. Apparently, they began dating in January 2023.
...
The Times of India reports that Wilkins has now taken a job on Capitol Hill as press secretary for Republican representative Abraham Hamadeh. She is expected to continue her music career concurrently and travel between Washington and Nashville, adds the Daily Mail.

that would bankrupt the nation due to its excess and size. The outrage, righteous indignation and unctuous lectures by the America's best sea-lions were both legion and legend. Although Michele Bachmann's political career may have been ruined by that narrative of lies she so cravenly wove, it seems to have put the cracked-egg of an idea in Patel's head to actually do it. And I'll bet the sealions (if they even bray on this one) will trivialize it as nothing.

Plus almost a trillion dollars in Medicaid cuts, over 10 years. They really want us all to just die to pay for billionaire tax cuts.
