flag FBI Director Kash Patel deployed SWAT agents to protect his girlfriend, a non-government country singer, amid death threats, sparking controversy over misuse of federal resources.

flag FBI Director Kash Patel has assigned elite SWAT agents from the Nashville field office to protect his girlfriend, 27-year-old country singer Alexis Wilkins, amid hundreds of credible death threats. flag The security detail, unusual for a non-spouse partner of a top FBI official, has drawn widespread criticism over the use of federal resources, especially given Patel’s prior criticism of similar personal jet use by former directors. flag Wilkins, who is not a government employee, has faced online threats and conspiracy theories falsely accusing her of being a foreign agent, leading her to file defamation lawsuits. flag The FBI has not confirmed the specifics of the protection, but sources say the deployment could impact emergency response capabilities. flag The situation has intensified scrutiny over Patel’s leadership, including his use of government aircraft and dismissals of senior agents, raising concerns about politicization and accountability within the bureau.
