Corruption in the United States
Corruption in the United States is the act of government officials abusing their political powers for private gain, typically through bribery or other methods, in the United States government. Corruption in the United States has been a perennial political issue, peaking in the Jacksonian era and the Gilded Age before declining with the reforms of the Progressive Era.
As of 2024, the United States scores 69 on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean") according to Transparency International's 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index. When ranked by score, the United States ranks 24th among the 180 countries in the index, where the country ranked first is perceived to have the most honest public sector.[1]
