Supreme Court to Define 'Corruptly' in Key Bribery Case

The high court's decision could reshape federal anti-corruption laws, affecting cases nationwide.

The Supreme Court is deliberating the definition of 'corruptly' in the bribery case of former Indiana mayor James Snyder.
Snyder's case has sparked a broader debate on how federal laws define and prosecute political corruption.
Justices expressed concern over the vagueness of the term 'corruptly', which could criminalize innocuous acts.
The outcome could influence ongoing and future corruption cases, including those involving high-profile figures like former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.
Legal experts and public officials await the court's decision, which is expected to have widespread implications for anti-corruption enforcement.
