President Donald Trump demanded that Microsoft, which has several government contracts handling sensitive data, “immediately terminate” Lisa Monaco as president of global affairs.
Monaco was a deputy attorney general under former President Joe Biden.
She played a key role in prosecuting Trump and other January 6 defendants, the New York Post reported.
The president said Friday that Monaco is a “menace to U.S. National Security” in part because she’s privy to “Highly Sensitive Information” in her position.
Although it would not normally be appropriate for a president to interfere in a private corporation, Monaco’s position in the company and her history of actively working against Trump call into question her fitness to continue.
The 57-year-old served as White House homeland security and counter terrorism adviser under then-President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017.
She joined the Biden administration and served as the second-in-command at the Department of Justice from 2021 to 2025.
During that time, she was involved in several legal actions against Trump, including the classified documents case and Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into election interference.
Trump views this as evidence that Monaco has a proven vendetta against him and should be removed from Microsoft in light of its role in U.S. government technology.
The president posted to his Truth Social account on Friday, making his case against Monaco.
He called her “Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged.”
Trump cited her work under Biden, who, along with then-Attorney General Merrick Garland, “were all the architects of the worst ever Deep State Conspiracies against our Country (RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, the January 6th Hoax, the Illegal Raid on Mar-a-Lago, the Biden ‘Autopen’ Scandal, the Documents Witch Hunt, and more!).
“Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information.
“Monaco’s having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand. She is a menace to U.S. National Security, especially given the major contracts that Microsoft has with the United States Government,” Trump added.
“Because of Monaco’s many wrongful acts, the U.S. Government recently stripped her of all Security Clearances, took away all of her access to National Security Intelligence, and banned her from all Federal Properties.
“It is my opinion that Microsoft should immediately terminate the employment of Lisa Monaco,” Trump urged the tech giant.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT,” he concluded.
Whether Microsoft will comply with his request is still unknown.
If Monaco were doing her job as a prosecutor against Trump in a straightforward way, perhaps his case against her would be less compelling.
However, her role is now in question as Smith is being investigated by GOP Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR).
Cotton contends that the prosecution was indeed politically motivated, though the former special prosecutor denies it.
This comes as Trump’s Justice Department indicted former FBI Director James Comey for making false statements about the Russia collusion scandal.
The Russia probe was the first to be pinned on Trump after he got into the political arena in 2016.
Comey has maintained his innocence, but it’s yet another in a line of actions that give credence to Trump’s claim that all of his prosecutions were politically motivated.
Meanwhile, many have argued that Microsoft is too close for comfort to the government, and this conflict underscores one of the reasons why that might be the case.
The massive tech company is also facing renewed concerns about its potential monopoly, as it is under a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) antitrust investigation that began under the Biden administration.
The FTC, supported by Democrats and Republicans, contends that the company has an outsized market share in artificial intelligence, cloud storage, and the Office suite of software.
In a business decision that may bolster the government’s case, Microsoft often bundles its Office, cloud services, and cybersecurity solutions for high-priced contracts, including those with government agencies.
There is too much coziness between the government and Big Tech, especially when it comes to the way Trump was treated by these companies for years.
It seems there are too many anti-Trump leftists with too much power, and it’s time someone calls them out for this.
