This shift came after President Trump's executive order restructured the agency, which initially aimed to enhance government tech initiatives. Resigners reported significant security risks during interviews conducted by Trump associates, raising alarms about government transparency and the influence of private figures like Elon Musk. The situation highlights growing tensions in government tech roles amidst political changes.
