One of Donald Trump’s counterterrorism officials has been suspended after allegedly using sugar daddies to fund her lifestyle.
Julia Varvaro, 29, has been placed on administrative leave from her role as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism, after an investigation over a ‘Seeking’ sugar daddy dating profile.
A Department of Homeland Security source told the Daily Mail: ‘Julia Varvaro is on administrative leave as a result of the investigation and she is no longer serving in her capacity as a Deputy Assistant Secretary at DHS.’
A man identified as Robert B issued an official complaint to the Department of Homeland Security and claimed she had a profile on the sugar daddy website ‘Seeking’, where Varvaro identified herself as ‘Alessia’.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Robert claimed he spent $40,000 on Varvaro after meeting her on Hinge and dating for a few months.
He cited trips he paid for to Aruba, Italy, San Diego and South Carolina, but said he could ‘never keep her happy’.
Varvaro has denied any wrongdoing, telling the Mail: ‘I didn’t know it was bad to go on vacation with your boyfriend. We were together in an exclusive relationship. We went on vacation. I don’t know what the problem is with that.’
On her alleged dating profile on ‘Seeking’, the Mail reported ber biography read: ‘Flirty, fun and fond of sultry spaces – mysterious lounges, velvet shadows, wine in hand…’
Varvaro has again denied having the profile on Seeking.
In his official complaint, Robert wrote: ‘I did not want a sugar daddy/prostitution relationship, after spending $30,000-$40,000 for vacations, Cartier jewellery, expensive handbags, and various shopping trips.
‘She told me that she does not have college debt because sugar daddies paid for her college education. She also told me directly that the $40,000 worth of jewellery on her wrists and ears is all trophies from her sugar daddies.’
He alleged that Varvaro was under financial stress and said her actions ‘pose a security risk’.
The bombshell claims against another DHS employee come in the same month. The husband of former Republican homeland security secretary Kristi Noem allegedly engaged in online ‘bimbofication’ fetish content.
Byron Noem, who has been married to Noem since 1992, has posted photos online dressed in women’s clothing.
Photographs published by the Daily Mail show Bryon, 56, with what appear to be balloons under his vest to resemble large breasts.
The insurance mogul can be seen wearing tight clothing, like crop tops and short shorts.
He allegedly sent fetish models he was chatting with online up to $25,000 via CashApp and PayPal.
The tabloid cited ‘hundreds’ of messages sent by three adult entertainers, in which Byron told them he coveted their ‘huge, huge ridiculous boobs’.
