Trump’s new target: Microsoft head of global affairs Lisa Monaco

In this article, former President Donald Trump has targeted Lisa Monaco, the head of global affairs at Microsoft, for retribution. Trump has accused Monaco of being "corrupt," "deranged," and a "menace to U.S. national security," citing her previous role as the Deputy Attorney General under President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland, who oversaw the federal prosecution of Trump. Trump claims to have stripped Monaco of her security clearances, suggesting that her current role at Microsoft allows her to access "Highly Sensitive Information." However, it's unclear why Trump chose this particular moment to go after Monaco, as Microsoft has not been a primary target for him, and its CEO, Satya Nadella, has maintained a cordial relationship with the former president. The article also notes that Microsoft has recently reduced the scope of its cooperation with the Israeli military's mass surveillance of Palestinian civilians, which may have contributed to Trump's decision to target the company's global affairs head. Microsoft has declined to comment on this story.
