The article examines the experience of fighting corruption in the United States of America. To prevent bribery in public policy, the United States of America became one of the first countries to initiate an active fight against corruption. The relevance of this article lies in the fact that corruption that occurs at the highest levels of government leads to the destruction of the political, economic and legal system of the state.
