Aug. 30 (UPI) -- The Chief Data Officer of the U.S. Social Security Administration has resigned, days after accusing Department of Government Efficiency officials of copying data on more than 300 million people.

The non-profit Government Accountability Office confirmed Charles Borges' departure from the administration this week, posting a copy of his resignation letter.

The GAO will provide Borges with legal representation, after his whistleblower complaint accused DOGE officials of illegally copying the data of some 300 million Americans, including people's Social Security numbers, names and dates of birth.

Borges' complaint alleges that data was then copied and saved on a private area of the SSA's cloud storage.
