Overview

• Trump posted on Truth Social on Friday calling for Microsoft to immediately terminate Lisa Monaco from her role as president of global affairs.
• Monaco previously served as deputy attorney general in the Biden administration and earlier led national security work at the Justice Department.
• Trump asserted that the government stripped Monaco of all security clearances, removed her access to national security intelligence, and banned her from federal properties.
• Microsoft did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and the company holds sizable U.S. government contracts including widely used cloud and productivity services.
• Reports differ on when Monaco joined Microsoft earlier this year, and Trump's demand followed the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey a day earlier.
