American Accountability Foundation refers Biden officials employed at Microsoft to DOJ over conflict of interest concerns
The American Accountability Foundation sent a letter to the Department of Justice requesting an investigation into what it characterized as a "revolving door" between former Biden administration officials who previously oversaw, regulated, or investigated Microsoft and now work for the company. The watchdog cited examples including Lisa Monaco, former Deputy Attorney General who joined Microsoft in May 2025, and Melinda Rogers, who authorized the DOJ's use of Microsoft's Government Community Cloud High platform before joining the company in June 2025. The referral raises concerns about conflicts of interest given Microsoft's substantial contracts with the federal government.
