Kash Patel’s girlfriend has FBI security detail due to death threats

The FBI is providing protection for Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, after she received hundreds of death threats, an agency spokesperson told NBC News.

“Ms. Wilkins is receiving a protective detail because she has faced hundreds of credible death threats related to her relationship with Director Patel, whom she has been dating for three years,” the spokesperson told NBC News. “Out of respect for her safety, we will not be providing additional details.”

MS NOW reported earlier Monday that Wilkins was under FBI protection.
