Albert B. Fall, the U.S. Secretary of the Interior under President Warren G. Harding, accepted bribes in exchange for leasing federal oil reserves. Notably, he was involved in the Teapot Dome scandal, where he accepted bribes from oil companies, including Sinclair Oil, to grant them access to the oil-rich lands in Wyoming and California. Fall's actions led to significant political scandal and his eventual conviction for bribery.
