Trump Demands Microsoft Terminate Lisa Monaco Over Security Concerns
Former President Donald Trump has called for Microsoft to dismiss Lisa Monaco, citing potential national security risks due to her access to sensitive government information. The demand, aired on his Truth Social platform, alleges conflicts of interest stemming from Monaco's prior federal law enforcement role and her current corporate position overseeing secure data.
Trump escalated his accusations by claiming Monaco's past conduct led to revoked security clearances and alleged she forged President Biden's signature using an autopen device. These assertions amplify existing scrutiny around ex-government officials joining tech firms with federal contracts.
