Argentine President Javier Milei's cabinet chief, Manuel Adorni, resigned on Saturday following a scandal that triggered investigations into his spending in recent years.

Adorni, a close ally of Milei, had served as cabinet chief since November 2025 after previously acting as the president's spokesperson following Milei's inauguration in December 2023.

The resignation comes as authorities investigate allegations related to Adorni's financial conduct during recent years. No further details about the accusations or the investigations have been officially disclosed.

Adorni was one of Milei's most prominent officials and regularly defended the government's policies during press briefings. His departure marks a significant shake-up within the president's inner circle as the administration continues to pursue its economic reform agenda.
