President Donald Trump demanded Microsoft Corporation remove Lisa Monaco from her position as Head of Global Affairs. Trump labeled Monaco as corrupt and dangerous to national security through posts on Truth Social. He accused the former deputy attorney general of having improper access to sensitive government information through Microsoft's federal contracts.
Monaco joined Microsoft in May after serving under President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland. Trump announced he revoked her security clearances and banned her from federal properties. The timing of Trump's attack remains unclear, though reports suggest he recently learned about her Microsoft role.
Microsoft recently advised employees with H-1B and H-4 visas to return before Trump's September 21 deadline implementing new visa fees.
