Oklahoma man indicted for threats against FBI director over Epstein files
MUSKOGEE, Okla. (KOKH) — 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”.

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.

Oklahoma lawmakers consider bill to require annual fee for transmission lines on private property
As consumer electricity needs grow, lawmakers are discussing strategies to ease the burden on landowners who don’t want the towers and wires carrying that energy on their property.
As it’s written now, the bill would require transmission owners to pay landowners $2 per foot of line annually. During the committee meeting, Murdock said he introduced the legislation to “start a conversation.”
“ This is an idea of, maybe moving forward, if the landowners are getting a royalty off of the power being pushed across their property, it may make it a little more palatable for someone to have a transmission line go across their property,” he said.
Landowners can enter into easement agreements with companies to set aside portions of their land for the builds. But in some cases, eminent domain is used to obtain a right-of-way.
“ I’m not saying that this is going to do away with eminent domain,” Murdock said. “What I’m hoping is this just makes it a little more palatable.”
Murdock said he spoke with utility companies about the legislation, though he didn’t name them. The bill’s language could change after creating an alternative rate based on conversations with the companies, he said.
Sen. Dave Rader, R-Tulsa, said the bill could raise utility rates for consumers living in Oklahoma’s most populous counties if companies charge more to make up for the annual fee.
Murdock pushed back, noting the lines are necessary to deliver electricity to other counties.
“You understand that you flip that light on because — and have that ability to have electricity because — the people in my district have a transmission line that goes across them, getting you that power,” he said.
