Why did Michelle King, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, resign?

Michelle King, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, resigned over the weekend after refusing a request from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk's newly established organization. The resignation came specifically because King refused to provide DOGE with access to sensitive data. The Trump administration's efforts to reshape the federal government have put various departments under increased scrutiny, with Social Security Administration being the latest target. This resignation represents part of a broader pattern in the administration's federal restructuring initiatives, which aim to address alleged waste and inefficiency.
