Kash Patel’s girlfriend lashes out at ‘sick’ report suggesting she was holding another person’s hand after shots rang out at correspondents’ dinner
Kash Patel’s girlfriend denies report she held another man’s hand after shooting
- A shooting incident occurred at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, prompting the evacuation of President Donald Trump and members of his administration.
- FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, denied a New York Times report that she was seen holding another man's hand after the shooting inside a private room.
- “I was only ever holding Kash's hand; anything to suggest otherwise is false. It is sick for the New York Times to have used this time after a perceived active shooting as a political tool. They will stop at nothing to push a narrative out that's damaging to people they've determined they dislike,” Wilkins told the Daily Mail.
- The New York Times defended its reporting, stating its journalist accurately observed Wilkins holding a security officer's hand while sheltering during the incident.
- The FBI had previously investigated an NYT reporter for “aggressive reporting techniques” after she wrote about Patel allegedly using bureau personnel for Wilkins' security, an action the NYT condemned as a First Amendment violation.
