[25]
[26]
Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor (2013?2017)
[
edit
]
On January 25, 2013, President Barack Obama announced he would name Monaco to be his
assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism
, the chief counterterrorism advisor to the President.
[27]
Monaco succeeded
John Brennan
, who was nominated by Obama to become the
director of the Central Intelligence Agency
.
[28]
Monaco took office on March 8, 2013, and became a statutory member of the
United States Homeland Security Council
.
[29]
In this role, Monaco led U.S. policy to disrupt terrorist threats against the United States, including degrading
Al-Qaeda
and affiliates from
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
to
Jabhat Fateh al-Sham
, putting the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
on a lasting path to defeat, and building partner capacity to prevent and disrupt terrorist threats.
[30]
She also led initiatives to expand collaboration with the private sector to counter ISIL's messaging and abuse of online platforms while lifting up alternative narratives.
[31]
[32]
Separately, she led a comprehensive hostage policy reform effort from 2014 to 2015 to better align and coordinate U.S. government efforts and better serve affected families.
[33]
Monaco, alongside
James Comey
, was considered a frontrunner to succeed Robert Mueller as
FBI Director
in 2013. Monaco would have been the first woman to serve as Director if she had been chosen; ultimately, Comey was nominated and confirmed as Director.
[34]
On May 23, 2013, Daniel Klaidman, writing for the
Daily Beast
reported a White House official confirmed Monaco would handle "day-to-day responsibilities" for Guantanamo.
[35]
In late July 2014, Monaco answered a question as to whether the mandate to keep Guantanamo open would end when U.S. troops had effectively retired from Guantanamo.
[36]
[37]
[38]
[39]
Scholars at
Lawfare
interpreted Monaco's comment as a sign that the Obama presidency would ask the
United States Congress
to pass legislation enabling Guantanamo to remain open after U.S. involvement in the Afghan war ended.

In February 2016, the White House and Department of Defense presented a comprehensive plan to Congress to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.
[40]
[41]
In the Homeland Security Advisor role, Monaco was also President Obama's chief cybersecurity advisor. She drove the policy decision to create the
Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center
in the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence
in 2015, to provide integrated all-source analysis of intelligence on foreign cyber threats and incidents affecting U.S. national interests similar to the
National Counterterrorism Center
on terrorist threats.
[42]
[43]
[44]
She also helped develop the Cybersecurity National Action Plan, which was released in February 2016, to guide the actions the U.S. government took over the remaining duration of the Obama administration and to put in place a long-term cybersecurity strategy, both within the federal government and across the country.
[45]
In July 2016, Monaco gave remarks at the International Conference on Cyber Security, outlining the Obama administration's cyber policy and announcing its new directive laying out how the federal government responds to significant cyber incidents.
[46]
Finally, over her tenure as President Obama's chief
homeland security
advisor, Monaco managed the United States
response to Ebola
and coordinated whole-of-government preparedness efforts to prevent its spread in the United States.
[47]
[48]
In January 2017, Monaco led the Principal-Level Exercise, convening outgoing and incoming Principals across the U.S. government to share lessons learned during prior crises and discuss best practices in preparing for future crises.
[49]
Private career post-Obama administration
[
edit
]
In 2017, Monaco joined
CNN
as a national security analyst.
[50]
In 2019, Monaco joined international law firm
O'Melveny & Myers
as a partner, where she co-chaired the firm's Data Security and Privacy group.

,
Apple Inc.
, in addition to her alma mater, Harvard University.
[52]
She also taught at NYU Law School and was a Fellow at the Reiss Center on Law and Security as well as the Belfer Center at Harvard's Kennedy School.
Monaco co-authored a piece in 2018 with public health expert Vin Gupta in

titled "The Next Pandemic Will Be Arriving Shortly", where she urged the U.S. government to prepare for the possibility of a future pandemic.
[53]
Deputy Attorney General (2021?present)
[
edit
]
Nomination
[
edit
]
In April 2020, it was announced that Monaco would assist with vetting efforts for the selection of
Joe Biden
's running mate in the
2020 presidential election
.
[54]
Following Biden's election, Monaco was considered for several positions in the upcoming administration, including
Attorney General
.
[55]
On January 6, 2021, Monaco was nominated to serve as
Deputy Attorney General
, the second most powerful position in the Department of Justice (DOJ).
[56]
Her nomination was endorsed by Senator
Dick Durbin
, who described her as "arguably the most qualified individual ever nominated to this position".
[57]
A hearing on her nomination before the
Senate Judiciary Committee
was held on March 9, 2021,
[58]
and she was confirmed by the Senate on April 20, 2021. She was sworn in the next day.
[59]
A coalition of progressive groups wrote in opposition to her nomination, arguing that Monaco's professional ties with
Apple
, currently under investigation by the DOJ, constituted a
conflict of interest
.
[60]
Tenure
[
edit
]
As Deputy Attorney General, Monaco referred an investigation into the Trump administration's subpoena of
Apple
to the
Office of the Inspector General
.
[61]
According to
The Washington Post
, Attorney General
Merrick Garland
has "tasked his deputy attorney general, Lisa Monaco, with “surfacing potentially problematic matters deserving high level review" since she took office.
[62]
In 2023, Monaco announced that the DOJ would implement
safe harbor
rules for certain
mergers and acquisitions
(M&A) activity. Under the safe harbor rules, the DOJ will not target corporations that disclose wrongdoing they find by businesses they are acquiring. The policy is reportedly intended to encourage more self-disclosure among businesses engaging in M&A activity.
[63]
Cybersecurity
[
edit
]
In a 2021 interview with the
Associated Press
, Monaco stated that
cybersecurity
matters, including combating
ransomware
software and other
cybercrime
, would be a priority of the DOJ.
[64]
In an October 2021 op-ed for
CNBC
, Monaco encouraged Congress to pass cybersecurity legislation that would standardize the reporting of breaches.
[65]
In a 2023 interview with
The Washington Post
, Monaco said that disrupting hackers was key to combating ransomware attacks.
[66]
At an RSA security conference in 2023, Monaco touted the federal government's disruption of around $130 million in ransomware payments to what she called a "“top-five” ransomware network".

Wilner and his allies may soon get some good news. A White House official confirmed to The Daily Beast that Obama has asked his chief counterterrorism adviser, Lisa Monaco, to handle the day-to-day responsibilities for Guantanamo. Monaco has daily access to the president and clout within the national-security bureaucracy. She also has deep experience dealing with the Guantanamo conundrum. When she first joined the administration in 2009 as a senior Justice Department official, she worked on Gitmo.
