A federal judge tossed the bulk of a public-corruption case against former New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin, finding the Justice Department’s charges didn’t meet the legal bar for prosecuting alleged bribery involving campaign contributions

U.S. District Judge J. Paul Oetken in Manhattan threw out three corruption charges against Mr.

Benjamin, a Democrat who was indicted earlier this year on five criminal counts for allegedly soliciting campaign donations from a real-estate developer in exchange for steering $50,000 in state funds to the developer’s education nonprofit in Manhattan’s Harlem neighborhood.
