America’s Federal Investigation Agency (FBI) director Kash Patel is in controversy. He is accused of making personal use of a government jet to watch the performance of his girlfriend and country singer Alexis Wilkins. This event took place on October 25 during a wrestling event held at Penn State University in Pennsylvania.
The controversy began with claims by former FBI agent and conservative podcaster Kyle Serafin. Serafin said on his show that “amid the government shutdown, while agency employees are working without pay, Director Patel is flying around with his girlfriend on a $60 million FBI jet.”
