“A high-ranking counterterrorism official is insisting she ‘did nothing wrong’ after her ex-boyfriend reportedly triggered a watchdog probe over accusations she used him as a ‘sugar daddy’ and demanded he spend thousands to fund her lavish lifestyle. The Daily Mail reported that in December, a divorced business executive identified only as Robert B. matched with 29-year-old Deputy Assistant Homeland Security Secretary for Counterterrorism Julia Varvaro on Hinge, beginning a months-long dalliance that ended with him filing an official complaint with DHS. ‘This is just a mad ex-boyfriend putting crap together. And it’s just really weird,’ Varvaro insisted to the outlet. … Robert B., who appears to be decades older than Varvaro, told the outlet that he shelled out up to $40,000 on her — funding trips to destinations like Italy, San Diego, South Carolina, and Aruba during their three-month romantic entanglement.” (04/22/26)
