The MAGA base that stormed the gates for Donald Trump in 2024 is now howling in betrayal as FBI Director Kash Patel lavishes elite SWAT protection on his girlfriend while stonewalling every promised reckoning with the Deep State’s darkest scandals.

The girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel now travels with a full protective detail staffed by elite SWAT agents pulled from the Nashville field office, a perk never before granted to an unmarried partner of any FBI director.
Alexis Wilkins, 27, a country singer and conservative activist, received the unprecedented security assignment despite not living with Patel, not being married to him, and facing no publicly disclosed threat that would justify diverting SWAT personnel from active crisis response.
Two sources with direct knowledge of FBI protective operations told MS Now that agents assigned to Wilkins would be unavailable or delayed if a mass shooting or terrorist attack erupted in Middle Tennessee.
"There is no legitimate justification for this," former senior FBI agent Christopher O’Leary told the publication. "This is a clear abuse of position and misuse of government resources. She is not his spouse, does not live in the same house or even the same city."
O’Leary noted the stark contrast with President Donald Trump’s decision to strip Secret Service protection from former national security adviser John Bolton, who remains under active Iranian assassination threat.
"I would also add that this comes at a time when security details were stripped from people who are under threat from IRGC QF," O’Leary said.
The deployment follows reports that Patel used the FBI’s $60 million Gulfstream jet last month to attend Wilkins’ performance of the national anthem at a Penn State wrestling event, a trip Patel once would have branded corrupt when he accused former Director Christopher Wray of the same practice.

The perk arrives as Trump voters seethe over Patel’s refusal to pursue aggressive investigations into the July 2024 attempt on the president’s life by Thomas Matthew Crooks, the still-unresolved Jan. 6 pipe bombs and the Jeffrey Epstein client list.
Patel shut down an investigation led by National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent into potential foreign involvement in the assassination of Kirk, as the nation demands accountability for the sniper attack that killed Kirk at Utah Valley University.
Adding fuel to the controversy, Wilkins filed three separate $5 million defamation lawsuits against conservative commentators for spreading or amplifying conspiracy theories portraying her as a Mossad "honeypot" agent and Israeli spy tasked with manipulating Patel.
The defendants include Rift TV CEO Elijah Schaffer, former FBI agent and whistleblower Kyle Seraphin, and former Utah Senate candidate Sam Parker. The lawsuits stem from online claims alleging Wilkins, an American-born Christian country singer, is a foreign operative exploiting her relationship with Patel.
Schaffer retweeted a claim about Mossad's use of female "honeypot" agents to seduce targets, attaching a photo of Patel and Wilkins without additional commentary, which the complaint alleges implied the theory applied to her. On his podcast, Seraphin discussed circulating rumors about Wilkins, describing her as "apparently... a former Mossad agent" in a segment acknowledging the speculation but not personally endorsing it as fact. The suit accuses him of maliciously promoting the narrative for self-enriching clickbait.
All three defendants now confront potentially crippling legal costs for statements courts have often shielded as rhetorical hyperbole or protected political speech.
Patel, who once vowed to ground his predecessor’s "government gangster" jet habits, dismissed the mounting outrage as attacks on his family.

The Trump loyalists who braved cold rallies and lawfare themselves now watch in disgust as the man tasked with cleaning house deploys the same tactics once used against them—while the Epstein files gather dust, the pipe bomber walks free, and elite SWAT agents stand guard outside a Nashville recording studio.
