US President Donald Trump has called for Microsoft to terminate the employment of Lisa Monaco, the company's president of global affairs. In a post on Truth Social, Trump described Monaco as "corrupt and totally Trump deranged," claiming she poses a threat to national security due to her previous roles in Democratic administrations.

Trump's demand comes in the wake of the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, a figure he has long opposed. He stated, "Monaco is a menace to U.S. National Security, especially given the major contracts that Microsoft has with the United States Government." He further alleged that Monaco's access to sensitive information is "unacceptable" and should not be allowed to continue.

Monaco, who began her role at Microsoft in July, previously served as the deputy attorney general under President Joe Biden and was a national security aide during Barack Obama's presidency. She played a significant role in coordinating the Justice Department's response to the January 6 Capitol attack. Trump noted that Monaco had her security clearances revoked and was banned from federal properties due to her alleged wrongful acts.

Despite Trump's strong criticism, Microsoft has not yet commented on the situation, and Monaco has not responded to the demands. Trump's actions reflect a broader strategy of targeting individuals he perceives as political adversaries since returning to office. This includes pressuring various institutions and individuals, as well as influencing corporate decisions.

As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how Microsoft will respond to Trump's public demand and the implications it may have for their relationship with the U.S. government.
