FBI Director’s Girlfriend Receives Elite Security Detail Amid Death Threats

WASHINGTON – Alexis Wilkins, a 27-year-old country artist and girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, is under the protection of a special FBI security detail due to a surge in credible death threats, a representative for Wilkins confirmed on Monday.

The security team includes agents typically assigned to SWAT teams from the FBI’s Nashville field office, according to reports. The representative stated that the threats against Wilkins, who has been dating Patel, 45, for three years, are directly related to her relationship with the FBI Director. Citing security concerns, further details were withheld.

The situation has sparked controversy. Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) voiced his concern for Wilkins’ safety, but also criticized Patel, alleging a refusal to provide adequate protection for him and his children despite multiple specific death threats.

Wilkins and Patel reportedly met in Nashville in 2022. She has also been the subject of conspiracy theories accusing her of targeting Patel on behalf of foreign government. She has filed lawsuits against several public figures and podcasters who have propagated these claims. While it is unconfirmed whether girlfriends of previous FBI directors received similar security, the wife of former FBI Director Christopher Wray also had a security detail.
