Is Kash Patel's girlfriend Alexis Wilkins a secret Israeli spy? Wild claims rock MAGA world

Country singer Alexis Wilkins is angry about 'insanely ridiculous' conspiracy theories accusing her of being a secret Israeli spy. The 26-year-old is dating Kash Patel, former Trump advisor and now head of Trump's FBI transition team. They've been together for over 2.5 years. Some MAGA influencers claim she's an Israeli 'honeypot' agent planted to compromise Trump's circle through Patel. Wilkins laughed off the theory saying, 'It would have been a really long-game play,' since they started dating way before Patel's FBI role, as reported by The Daily Beast.
