An Oklahoma man was indicted for threatening to "execute" FBI Director Kash Patel and country singer Alexis Wilkins.

The FBI was first tipped off to the threat on Instagram, where an account tagged both Patel and Wilkins.

"You're both gonna be publicly executed for hurting kids," according to the social media post.

The comment appeared on a post on Wilkins Instagram account on November 18, 2025.

FBI agents believe the man behind the account is Jacob Wray Hudson.

Investigators interviewed Hudson's brother, who said his brother had "very strong political beliefs". Hudson's brother told investigators Hudson lived with their parents in Muskogee.

Muskogee police had previously detained Hudson in September for a disturbance. Officers said Hudson was screaming death threats while trying to break into a house.

When Muskogee police made contact with Hudson, police say he yelled about wanting to kill President Trump and "the Jews".

Muskogee police also reported Hudson screamed at officers that he was "batman". FBI agents said "batman" was associated with the Instagram account Hudson was using for the threats.

Agents interviewed Hudson on November 21. Court documents say Hudson admitted the Instagram account was his and that he had made the post regarding Patel and Wilkins.

Hudson allegedly told agents he made the post because "all he cares about is protecting children." While making the statement, agents said he referenced the Epstein investigation.

Hudson also told agents that he believes the American people are "going to hold the FBI Director accountable after the Epstein investigation is completed."

A search of Hudson's Instagram account by agents also yielded other threats against Patel.

"I will literally slap the f**kin taste outta your mouth if you keep bu****ittin with the #releasetheEpsteinfiles. F**k you and @realdonaldtrump and @agpambondi and all other pedos. F**k around and find out. Come get me hoe. Try me," according to an October 29 social media post that tagged Patel.

Hudson has been indicted on three charges: threats to impede, intimidate, interfere and retaliate against a federal law enforcement officer; and two counts of interstate communications with a threat to injure the person of another.
