A high-ranking official at the Department of Homeland Security has been suspended following allegations that she solicited tens of thousands of dollars from “sugar daddies.”
A formal complaint was filed against Julia Varvaro, a 29-year-old counterterrorism official, accusing her of keeping transactional relationships that posed a security risk, The Daily Mail reported on Wednesday.
She was appointed to her senior position in May 2025, shortly after earning a degree in Homeland Security from St. John’s University. Varvaro has attended several MAGA events and has been photographed with Donald Trump.
The complaint, filed with the DHS inspector general, was submitted by an executive identified as “Robert B,” who said he spent approximately $40,000 on Varvaro during the course of their three‑month relationship after they met on Hinge.



We can’t have sugar daddies and jobs? This is why the youth doesn’t want to work anymore.
You can’t lie about being a prostitute during your background investigation and hold a security clearance, no.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Other than the national security concerns.
Lying for the investigation is a federal crime
She is a fucking fascist.
That seems like a reason to fire her, but not becaaue she has a legal side hussle unrelated to her day job
Well, yeah. That doesn’t seem to bother this administration though.
