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

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.

Patel appeared alongside his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, who sang at the "Real American Freestyle" wrestling league founded by the late Hulk Hogan. She posted a photo of them together at the event on her X account.

"That’s a perfectly non-scandalous act — endearing, even," Sommer wrote. "But what caught the eye of ... Seraphin was how Patel ended up at Penn State."

Seraphin found that a government jet took off from a northern Virginia airport and landed at State College's regional airport near Penn State's campus at about the time Patel would have arrived. He discovered the jet is registered with the FAA as government-owned and its owner’s address is the same as the FBI’s Washington headquarters.

That same plane then left State College for Nashville, Tennessee, where Wilkins lives.

Ironically, Patel was critical of past directors using government jets, saying in 2023 that the bureau should "ground" then-director Christopher Wray's plane.
