Top Social Security Official Out After Refusing Access to DOGE

Advocate says her replacement has reportedly already granted the access, however

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency tried to access sensitive information at the Social Security Administration over the weekend, and Acting Commissioner Michelle King refused to grant it -- and then stepped down from her position, multiple sources tell outlets including the Washington Post and the AP. A Trump administration official confirmed the news to CBS, saying King resigned after the president replaced her with Leland Dudek, who previously headed the SSA's anti-fraud office. Trump's nominee for permanent commissioner of the agency, Frank Bisignano, must still be confirmed by the Senate.
