Trump Aide Suspended in Sex Scandal

The internal probe was triggered after Varvaro’s ex-boyfriend claimed she had bilked him out of forty thousand dollars to fund a lavish lifestyle.

Varvaro, twenty-nine, allegedly maintained a profile on Seeking.com and demanded access to credit cards for high-end purchases.

The official has denied the accusations, framing the situation as a personal relationship that turned sour.

The scandal is the latest embarrassment for the DHS, which is already facing a prolonged government shutdown and leadership instability.

Varvaro was a prominent Trump appointee who frequently appeared alongside other senior administration officials.
