The Biden Justice Department’s former second-in-command, Lisa Monaco, is facing a referral to the Department of Justice over allegations that she buried investigations into Microsoft’s cybersecurity failures before
landing a top job at the tech giant, according to a letter from the
American Accountability Foundation.

Monaco, who served as Deputy Attorney General under former Attorney
General Merrick Garland, joined Microsoft in May 2025 as President of
Global Affairs just months after leaving government. Her hiring drew
immediate criticism from President Donald Trump, who blasted Monaco in a
Truth Social post last September.

“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco,” Trump wrote, “was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama, and a Lawfare
and Weaponization obsessed Deputy Attorney General under Crooked Joe
Biden.” Trump added that Monaco’s access to “Highly Sensitive Information” at Microsoft was “unacceptable” given the company’s extensive government contracts.

Trump further alleged that Monaco had been stripped of security
clearances and barred from federal properties, declaring: “It is my
opinion that Microsoft should immediately terminate the employment of
Lisa Monaco.”

The DOJ referral from the American Accountability Foundation suggests Trump’s concerns may extend beyond politics into national security and potential corruption.

According to the letter, Microsoft suffered at least five major cyber intrusions between 2019 and 2023 involving Russian intelligence
services, Chinese state-sponsored hackers, and Russian cybercriminals.
The breaches were described as “among the most damaging series of
breaches of U.S. government information systems in American history.”
