Response to this claim
Kyle Seraphin said on his podcast on August 22, 2025 that FBI Director Kash Patel "has had his own little 'honeypot' issue" and that Patel's girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, is "a former Mossad agent in what is like the equivalent of their NSA," according to the transcript quoted in Wilkins's complaint and in the court's order denying his motion to dismiss.
“🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 Kash Patel would silence everyone about the MOSSAD HONEYPOT allegations if he RELEASED THE EPSTEIN FILES!”
Hinkle's post, published after news reports on Wilkins's defamation suits against Schaffer and Parker.
Why we used this label
The reference point is the proposition that Alexis Wilkins is, or was, a foreign intelligence agent, specifically an Israeli or Mossad "honeypot" in a relationship with Kash Patel to compromise him. Hinkle sets the phrase "MOSSAD HONEYPOT" beside U.S. and Israeli flag emoji and photos of Patel and Wilkins, which points the allegation at her without stating it as fact. Because the post's meaning depends on that juxtaposition, we used Mixed or conditional. The closest competing label is Condemned. It loses because the post calls them "allegations" and asserts nothing about Wilkins in its own words. Evidence level: his own post on X.
