Who is Lisa Monaco Husband, why Trump targeting Lisa Monaco?

U.S. President Donald Trump has called on Microsoft to immediately remove Lisa Monaco from her role as President of Global Affairs. Trump accused Monaco of being “corrupt” and a “menace to national security.”

Why is Trump Targeting Lisa Monaco?

Trump made the remarks in a detailed post on his Truth Social account. He criticized Microsoft for hiring Monaco in a top position with access to “highly sensitive information.”

Trump said, “Monaco’s access cannot be allowed to stand. She has already been stripped of all security clearances and banned from federal properties. Microsoft must act immediately.”

He linked his demand to recent events, including the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. Trump suggested that more prosecutions could follow, pointing at former officials from past administrations.

Who is Lisa Monaco?

Lisa Monaco has a long career in U.S. politics. She served as a senior aide in the Obama administration and later became Deputy Attorney General under President Joe Biden. She also played a key role in the Justice Department’s response to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots.

In July 2025, Monaco joined Microsoft to lead the company’s global affairs and manage relations with governments. Her LinkedIn profile lists her role as focusing on Microsoft’s engagement with international leaders and agencies.

Earlier this year, in February, the Trump administration revoked her security clearances, removing her access to classified intelligence.

Microsoft’s Silence

So far, Microsoft has declined to comment on Trump’s statements. Lisa Monaco has also not issued any public response.

Political and Public Reactions

Trump’s remarks have once again fueled debate over the close ties between big tech and U.S. government contracts. Many analysts believe the call to sack Monaco could intensify political pressure on Microsoft.

The controversy has raised questions about how a former U.S. Deputy Attorney General ended up in a top private-sector role, especially after her clearances were revoked.
