A 29-year-old Trump-appointed counterterrorism chief at the Department of Homeland Security — someone with Top Secret clearance and access to the nation’s most sensitive intelligence — has been placed on administrative leave.
Her ex-boyfriend filed a formal complaint alleging she maintained a profile on a sugar daddy website under the fake name “Alessia,” accepted $40,000 in luxury gifts over just three months, and used her government position to skip TSA security lines while bragging “ICE works for me.”
Julia Varvaro, who earned her PhD in Homeland Security just last year and had been photographed with both Trump and former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, denies everything — calling her ex a “mad ex-boyfriend putting crap together.”
DHS has confirmed she is off the job while the Inspector General investigates.
Former CIA officers are calling the situation a potential national security risk and a serious blackmail vulnerability.
The man who blew the whistle says he never wanted a sugar daddy arrangement. He just wanted a girlfriend.
