This section punishes certain improper payments connected to official services. It covers both receiving compensation for services and offering or giving compensation for another person’s services.
(a) Asking, accepting, or receiving something valuable. A person subject to this chapter violates this provision if the person holds an official position or has official duties and wrongfully asks for, accepts, or receives something valuable as compensation for, or recognition of, services the person performed or will perform concerning an official matter in which the United States has an interest. The person may be punished as a court-martial directs.
(b) Promising, offering, or giving something valuable. A person subject to this chapter who wrongfully promises, offers, or gives something valuable to another person who holds an official position or has official duties, as compensation for, or recognition of, services that other person performed or will perform concerning an official matter in which the United States has an interest, may be punished as a court-martial directs. This section does not define “thing of value,” “services,” or “official matter.”
Any person subject to this chapter—
who occupies an official position or who has official duties; and
who wrongfully asks, accepts, or receives a thing of value as compensation for or in recognition of services rendered or to be rendered by the person with respect to an official matter in which the United States is interested;
shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
