FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend Alexis Wilkins has filed a defamation lawsuit against MS Now, formerly MSNBC, reporter Carol Leonnig, and reporter Ken Dilanian.
The complaint centers on a December 5, 2025, MS Now article that falsely claimed Patel ordered Wilkins’ FBI security detail (which did not exist at the alleged time) to escort her allegedly intoxicated friend home after nights of partying in Nashville, based on anonymous sources.
Wilkins claims the report was fabricated, that defendants knew it was false.
This is one of many defamation lawsuits filed by Wilkins against several media figures.
