FBI Director Kash Patel faces allegations of misusing a $60 million government jet to attend girlfriend Alexis Wilkins' singing performance at a Pennsylvania wrestling event. Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin claimed Patel flew from Virginia to State College, then Nashville where Wilkins resides. Flight records confirm a Justice Department jet made this route on October 25. Patel, 45, attended the Real American Freestyle Wrestling event where Wilkins, 26, performed. While FBI policy mandates directors use official aircraft for security, personal trips require commercial-rate reimbursement. It's unclear if Patel repaid costs. This isn't his first scrutiny as lawmakers previously accused him of overusing government aircraft, which Patel defended citing congressional mandate.
