Make-A-Wish Kash took girlfriend to $50,000 suite for concert

Source: msn/Daily Beast

6h


Kash Patel has reportedly turned another FBI work trip into a luxury date-night excursion. The embattled FBI director, 46, allegedly flew with girlfriend Alexis Wilkins, 27, aboard the bureau’s Gulfstream V jet to a country music concert in May last year before returning later that same night.

The lavish outing was revealed in a sweeping New York Times investigation into Patel’s increasingly controversial use of FBI resources for apparently personal travel and leisure activities, often involving his girlfriend.

Patel and Wilkins reportedly traveled from Washington to Philadelphia on May 10, 2025, to watch country singers George Strait and Chris Stapleton perform from a private suite that cost between $35,000 and $50,000. The Times reported that the FBI flight crew and Patel’s security detail remained on duty until after 11 p.m., waiting for the couple to finish the concert, collecting overtime pay in the process.

When asked by the Times who paid for the luxury suite, Patel—through an FBI spokesperson—declined to answer. The bureau instead told the paper that Wilkins had been “an invited guest” of the performers, though representatives for Strait and Stapleton reportedly did not respond to multiple requests for confirmation from the Times. The FBI did not immediately respond to the Daily Beast’s request for comment.

These idiots always find a home in the MAGA grift. Whether on foxnews, some crazy thnk tank, or flat out grifting the rubes on trump phones.

Like it or not, this clown is set for life.
