Puerto Rico’s governor says that two senior government officials are stepping down as corruption allegations continue. ABC News reports that the governor announces that Francisco Domenech, the chief of staff, and Itza García, the deputy chief of staff, will leave their roles next month. Both officials deny the corruption allegations tied to their positions. The announcements come against a backdrop of persistent scrutiny of conduct within the governor’s office, with allegations remaining unresolved at the time of the statements. The officials’ resignations are presented as part of the administration’s response to the ongoing allegations, while the denials indicate the dispute over the underlying claims. The reports describe the impending transition in top staff leadership rather than specific details of the allegations or any formal findings. The Winnipeg Free Press provides the same headline framing about the planned step-downs, indicating consistent coverage of the officials’ departure despite the continuing legal or investigative process.
