Jacob Hudson, a 38-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran from Muskogee, Oklahoma, has pleaded guilty to two counts of interstate threats targeting FBI Director Kash Patel and his wife Alexis Wilkins. The plea deal drops another charge and stems from social media posts in late 2025 referencing the Jeffrey Epstein case. Hudson faces up to five years in federal prison.
Jacob Hudson, who refers to himself as 'Batman,' admitted in a plea agreement signed by a magistrate judge in the Eastern District of Oklahoma on Monday to transmitting threats between October 29 and November 20, 2025. The agreement states that Hudson 'knowingly and willfully' sent communications in interstate commerce containing threats to injure Patel (referred to as 'K.P.') and Wilkins ('A.W.'), including threats to kill them, knowing they would be viewed as threats. He changed his plea from not guilty to guilty on two counts of interstate communications with a threat to injure the person of another, while prosecutors dropped a charge related to impeding a federal law enforcement officer. Sentencing is unscheduled, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison; Hudson was remanded into custody after the hearing. Hudson, a Muskogee resident, targeted Patel and Wilkins specifically on Instagram, posting, 'You're both gonna be publicly executed for hurting kids.' He also tagged Patel, President Donald Trump, and Attorney General Pam Bondi in an October 2025 post: 'I will literally slap the f—in taste outta your mouth if you keep bulls—in with the #releasetheepsteinfiles. F— you and @realdonaldtrump and @agpambondi and all the other pedos.' Other posts included, 'They are all finna lose their heads. I promise,' 'F— around and find out. Come get me h—. Try me,' and threats of public execution against Trump, former presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. Hudson cited the 'Epstein list' and officials' handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. Prior to federal charges, Hudson was arrested in Muskogee in September 2025 for allegedly attempting to break into a neighbor's house while screaming death threats, including about killing President Trump; he again called himself 'Batman.' His brother told investigators Hudson holds strong political beliefs that led to family fights. During interviews, Hudson admitted the posts, saying he cares about 'protecting children' and referenced the Epstein investigation.
