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.”

However, there is this from Kash Patel this afternoon:
FBI Director Kash Patel
@FBIDirectorKash · 6m 🚨 This afternoon, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney who supported Jack Smith’s politicized investigation of President Trump has been charged with stealing the confidential investigation documents.
Carmen Lineberger allegedly emailed the confidential material to her own personal email, disguising them as dessert recipes to conceal them from record searches.
Lineberger is charged with four felony counts in the indictment.
This FBI will not hesitate to bring to account those who violated the trust of the American public in an investigation that should’ve never been brought to begin with.
So what. Anyone can “refer” someone to the DOJ.
As I said.....
“Investigations, investigations. We want arrests!”
