Kash Patel's Girlfriend Alexis Wilkins Files a $5M Lawsuit After Being Branded 'Israeli Honeypot'

Alexis Wilkins accuses political figures of fabricating claims that she was an Israeli 'honeypot' working to manipulate FBI Director Kash Patel.

Alexis Wilkins, the 26-year-old country singer and girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, has filed a $5 million defamation lawsuit against failed Utah Senate candidate Samuel Parker, accusing him of spreading 'fabricated' claims that she is an Israeli intelligence operative working as a 'honeypot' to manipulate and compromise the FBI director.

The lawsuit, filed on 31 October in US District Court for the District of Utah, alleges that Parker 'repeatedly lied' about Wilkins in a series of social media posts, 'falsely asserting and suggesting that she is an agent of a foreign government, assigned to manipulate and compromise the Director of the FBI'. Parker is accused of using 'this fabricated story as fund-raising click-bait' and spreading it to over 1.3 million viewers.
