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.
