Alexis Wilkins, the girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, has filed a lawsuit against MS NOW, alleging that the network used unreliable anonymous sources to make false claims about her. The lawsuit, submitted in federal court in Nashville, Tennessee, names MS NOW and reporters Ken Dilanian and Carol Leonnig as defendants. Wilkins claims the network falsely stated that she demanded federal agents escort an intoxicated friend home and misrepresented her as being intoxicated, despite her not drinking. Her attorneys argue that this portrayal is damaging to her reputation as a sober professional. MS NOW has stated that they stand by their reporting and do not comment on ongoing legal matters. Wilkins is seeking over $75,000 in damages and a jury trial. This lawsuit follows a separate case involving Patel against The Atlantic regarding allegations of excessive drinking.
