Lisa Monaco, who assumed the role of President of Microsoft Global Affairs in July this year, has been the person of interest on social media after US President Donald Trump mentioned her in a Truth Social post. Trump called on Microsoft to terminate the “corrupt” and “deranged” executive, who he claims has been banned from all federal properties.
‘Microsoft should terminate Lisa Monaco’: Trump
“It is my opinion that Microsoft should immediately terminate the employment of Lisa Monaco,” he wrote on Truth Social before adding that Monaco has access to “highly sensitive information”, which he said is “unacceptable”.
He added, “Corrupt and totally Trump deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama, and a Lawfare and Weaponization obsessed Deputy Attorney General under Crooked Joe Biden and Lisa’s Puppet ‘Boss’ Attorney General Merrick Garland, who were all the architects of the worst ever Deep State Conspiracies against our Country (RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, the January 6th Hoax, the Illegal Raid on Mar-a-Lago, the Biden “Autopen” Scandal, the Documents Witch Hunt, and more).”
Monaco coordinated the Justice Department’s handling of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack involving Trump supporters during the Biden Administration.
