Trump publicly called on Microsoft to terminate Lisa Monaco, its newly hired President of Global Affairs, alleging that her background in the Obama and Biden administrations makes her a danger to U.S. national security. “Because of Monaco’s many wrongful acts, the U.S. Government recently stripped her of all Security Clearances, took away all of her access to National Security Intelligence, and banned her from all Federal Properties. Trump’s critique raises the stakes for how corporations, who contract with the government, weigh political and national security considerations when recruiting senior leaders with deep government backgrounds.
