FBI Director Kash Patel finds himself at the center of a Washington storm after reports claimed he used a $60 million government jet to visit his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins. Patel fiercely denies the allegations, calling the attacks “disgustingly baseless” and defending both Wilkins and his integrity. The FBI says Patel followed protocol, reimbursing costs for personal travel. Still, the controversy deepened after leaks about his flight led to the resignation of a senior aviation official. Wilkins has since filed a $5 million defamation suit, as Patel vows to stay focused on reforming the Bureau — and protecting those he loves.
