A glamorous Trump aide has been suspended from her job after the Daily Mail exposed her dates with older ‘sugar daddies’ for cash.
Julia Varvaro, 29, was put on leave from her job as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism on Wednesday afternoon, hours after we revealed her shameless money-grabbing antics with a much older boyfriend who gave his name as Robert B.
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.’
Varvaro’s hunger for money and gifts from older men sparked national security fears.
One of the ‘sugar daddies,’ Robert B, a divorced father who said he spent $40,000 on Varvaro during a three-month fling, made an official complaint with the Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General.
‘I believe that she’s under financial stress and that her actions pose a security risk,’ he said in the complaint.
Robert also said she had a profile on the sugar daddy website ‘Seeking’.
On the page, seen by the Daily Mail, she called herself Alessia and offered ‘seductive sophistication.’

She told the Daily Mail she did nothing wrong.
‘I didn’t know it was bad to go on vacation with your boyfriend,’ she said.
‘We were together in an exclusive relationship. We went on vacations. I don’t know what’s the problem with that.’
Varvaro denied having a profile on Seeking when questioned by the Daily Mail.
The profile – which was launched on the day after Thanksgiving last year – was removed after we initially reached out for comment.
Shocking and extensive details of Varvaro’s greed are contained within the Daily Mail’s exclusive report.
