MS NOW's Ken Dilanian and Carol Leonnig report that FBI Director Kash Patel's girlfriend's government security detail is "prompting concerns" and could hinder response to other incidents. They report that Alexis Wilkins, Patel’s girlfriend, has "a security detail made up of elite FBI agents usually assigned to a SWAT team in the FBI field office in Nashville, where Wilkins spends time for her work." In 2023, "Patel had previously slammed then-FBI Director Wray for his use of the FBI jet for personal travel," they report. Patel has also been blasted for firing "seasoned FBI leaders without a legal basis and losing critical expertise," they explain. Wilkins' security detail has drawn scorn from former FBI agents like Christopher O’Leary, a former senior FBI agent and MS NOW law enforcement contributor.
