Social Security Official Resigns Over Musk’s Access to Sensitive Data
Acting Social Security Commissioner Michelle King resigned after refusing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to sensitive recipient data. Her refusal followed DOGE’s attempts to access Treasury and IRS databases, raising concerns about potential unlawful access to private information. The White House subsequently appointed Leland Dudek as acting commissioner while awaiting confirmation of President Trump’s nominee, Frank Bisignano. This departure highlights broader concerns among high-ranking officials regarding DOGE’s actions and the potential misuse of sensitive taxpayer data.
