Overview
- In a Truth Social post, the president called Monaco “a menace to U.S. national security” and urged her immediate termination from the role she began in July.
- Microsoft declined to comment, and there has been no indication of personnel changes or federal contract actions.
- Trump asserted Monaco could access “Highly Sensitive Information” through Microsoft’s government work and claimed her security clearances were revoked earlier this year.
- Reporters note the clearance claim reflects the administration’s broader revocation affecting former Biden officials, not evidence of classified access in her private-sector job.
- Activist Laura Loomer said she alerted Trump to Monaco’s hire and publicly pressed CEO Satya Nadella to comply, as analysts flagged the episode as part of a pattern of presidential pressure on private companies, including a recent push targeting Intel’s chief.
