Deputy Assistant Homeland Security Secretary for Counterterrorism Julia Varvaro has reportedly been placed on administrative leave for allegedly scamming an ex-boyfriend of $40,000 (£29,635). The allegations were made by a divorced business executive known only as Robert B.
Varvaro's ex-lover filed a DHS complaint, claiming he spent between $30,000 and $40,000 on the former deputy assistant secretary. He detailed that this included taking the 29-year-old on lavish holidays and buying her expensive jewellery.
