FBI Director Kash Patel is facing major backlash after reports alleged he used a $60 million FBI jet to attend his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins’ performance at a wrestling event in Pennsylvania.
Critics say it’s a misuse of taxpayer funds, especially during a government shutdown, while the FBI defends the trip as compliant — saying Patel reimbursed the cost in advance per bureau policy.
Meanwhile, Patel has fired a senior aviation official, raising questions about retaliation.
