On September 26, 2025, former President Donald Trump publicly demanded that Microsoft terminate Lisa Monaco, the company’s President of Global Affairs and former Deputy Attorney General, citing national security concerns due to her past government role and alleged revocation of her security clearances. Trump characterized her as a “menace to US National Security,” urging immediate action from Microsoft, which holds significant government contracts. Monaco, recognized for her leadership in cybersecurity and counterterrorism during her tenure in the Justice Department, has not publicly responded to Trump’s claims. This demand underscores ongoing tensions within U.S. political and security spheres, particularly concerning personnel from the Biden administration amidst recent legal controversies involving former officials.
