FBI Director Kash Patel, 45, has been under fire lately — not only for how he handled the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, but also for his personal life.
Patel’s girlfriend, 26-year-old country singer Alexis Wilkins, is now firing back at critics who won’t stop talking about their age gap.
”There are a lot of shaking heads”
After Kirk’s shocking murder, Patel faced scrutiny from inside and outside the bureau. Four former FBI officials and two administration officials told NBC News that his actions during the crisis raised eyebrows, from where he was on the night of the shooting to what one source described as his “grandstanding” after the suspect’s arrest.
“He has heard concerns about how this looks,” an administration official admitted.
“There are a lot of shaking heads.”
