President Trump late Friday demanded Microsoft fire its head of global affairs, Lisa Monaco, over her work in the Biden administration.
Why it matters: Trump's push for one of the world's largest companies to oust one of its top executives is the latest example of the administration's broad efforts to exert more active oversight of corporate America.
What they're saying: "It is my opinion that Microsoft should immediately terminate the employment of Lisa Monaco," Trump said in a Truth Social post, calling her "Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged."
Trump described her as a "menace to U.S. National Security," citing Microsoft's government contracts. He withdrew her security clearances last March in the same order where he also withdrew clearances for former president Biden and Hillary Clinton, among others.
The intrigue: Far-right activist Laura Loomer claimed credit for the push to oust Monaco in a post on X, saying she alerted Trump to Monaco's role.

Thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten that with him his vengeance is always about individuals.
