A Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for counterterrorism was placed on administrative leave for having multiple “sugar daddies.”
The Daily Mail on Wednesday revealed that Julia Varvaro, 29, was under investigation for using ‘sugar daddies’ to maintain a lavish lifestyle.
Varvaro allegedly demanded designer handbags, expensive jewelry, and luxury trips from her sugar daddies.
One man who dated Varvaro, identified as “Robert B,” triggered the investigation after he complained to the DHS watchdog over claims that she bilked him for tens of thousands of dollars.
“I did not want a sugar daddy/prostitution relationship, after spending $30,000-$40,000 for vacations, Cartier jewelry, expensive handbags, and various shopping trips,” Robert B. wrote in a complaint to the IG, according to The Daily Mail.
“She also told me directly that the $40,000 worth of jewelry on her wrists and ears are all trophies from her sugar daddies,” he wrote. “I believe that she’s under financial stress and that her actions pose a security risk.”
Robert B said Varvaro had a profile on a sugar daddy website. Varvaro denied she was on a sugar daddy/sugar baby website.
Varvaro hit back and called Robert B a bitter ex-boyfriend. She said she did nothing wrong by going on vacation with a boyfriend.
The Daily Mail reported:
A top-level Trump counterterrorism official is under investigation amid claims she actively looks for sugar daddies to maintain her exorbitant lifestyle.
One man complained he spent $40,000 on Julia Varvaro during a three-month fling that started when they met on the dating website Hinge.
‘She was attractive and I swiped right,’ executive Robert B, who asked that his last name be withheld, told the Daily Mail.
Varvaro, 29, who earned her PhD in Homeland Security in 2024, has served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism since May 2025.
Robert, a divorced father, says he took the raven-haired beauty on first class trips to Aruba, Italy, San Diego, and South Carolina during their short time together.
But he could never spend enough to keep her happy, he claimed in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail.
Later Wednesday, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin said Varvaro was placed on administrative leave.
