President Donald Trump publicly asked Microsoft to fire Lisa Monaco, the company’s new president of global affairs, saying she puts national security at risk. Trump wrote about this on Truth Social on Friday. Monaco worked as deputy attorney general under former President Joe Biden. She joined Microsoft in July but has now become a target of Trump’s anger because of her role in investigations about the president during his first term.
Monaco was deeply involved in federal investigations into Trump’s actions related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack and how he handled classified documents. She held the second-highest position at the Justice Department. Trump took away Monaco’s security clearance earlier this year. He did the same thing to other former political opponents, including Biden himself.
