Overview

• In a Truth Social post, President Donald Trump demanded Microsoft immediately terminate Monaco, calling her a menace to U.S. national security and citing purported access to “Highly Sensitive Information.”
• Monaco joined Microsoft in July as president of global affairs after serving as deputy attorney general from 2021 to early 2025 and playing key roles in investigations that involved Trump.
• Microsoft declined to comment on Trump’s demand, and there is no public indication of any formal government action to force Monaco’s removal.
• Trump claimed Monaco’s security clearances were recently revoked and that she was barred from federal properties, assertions reported in the context of broader revocations affecting former Biden officials.
• Right-wing activist Laura Loomer said she alerted Trump to Monaco’s appointment and publicly pressed CEO Satya Nadella to comply, as observers note it is unusual for a sitting president to call for a private company’s personnel change.
