U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that Microsoft should fire Lisa Monaco, who had served in the administrations of two Democratic presidents and is now Microsoft's global affairs president.
Monaco had helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the January 6, 2021, attacks by Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol.
She served as a security aide in the administration of President Barack Obama and was the deputy attorney general in President Joe Biden's administration. Monaco started working for Microsoft in July to lead the firm's engagements with governments globally, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Trump on Truth Social said Monaco was "a menace to U.S. National Security, especially given the major contracts that Microsoft has with the United States Government.
"It is my opinion that Microsoft should immediately terminate the employment of Lisa Monaco," he posted.
Monaco's security clearances were revoked in February. On Friday, Trump said the U.S. government has also banned her from all federal properties because of "Monaco’s many wrongful acts."
Microsoft declined to comment on Trump's post. Monaco also did not immediately respond.
On Thursday, James Comey, who led the FBI when it began an investigation into ties between Trump’s 2016 campaign and the Russian government, was indicted on charges of false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
Trump on Friday said he expects more indictments against perceived enemies, saying to reporters: "I think there will be others" but said he did not have a list.
