TL;DR

The US Supreme Court has overturned the bribery conviction of Joseph Percoco, a former aide to Democratic former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, in a ruling that further limits the ability of federal prosecutors to pursue corruption cases. The court ruled 9-0 in favor of Percoco, who was charged in 2016 as part of a corruption crackdown by federal prosecutors in Manhattan. The ruling represented the latest in recent years in which the court has limited prosecutors in political corruption cases.
