Rule
Employees of private organizations that administer federal grant funds qualify as “public officials” subject to the federal bribery statute, 18 U.S.C. § 201.
Significance
Expanded the reach of § 201 beyond formal government employees to those who exercise discretionary authority over federal funds, preventing circumvention of the bribery statute through use of private intermediaries.
