The 62 year old Letterman dropped the bomb on his fans on the segment that was featured on the Thursday night, admitting openly in front of the camera, that he had been at the receiving end of a $2 million extortion plot that had been attempted by an unidentified person.

The anonymous person, Letterman revealed in front of his viewers, had blackmailed to expose that Letterman had been involved in sexual relationships with quite a few members of his staff. In a statement released a few hours after the Thursday night taping, Letterman in reported to have said, “This morning, I did something I’ve never done in my life. I had to go downtown and testify before a grand jury,” allegedly regarding his sexual relationships with his staff members.

Meanwhile, the CBS network is supposed to have said in a released statement that the unidentified person who had tried to extort money by blackmailing Letterman is supposed to be a network employee who reportedly works on the “48 Hours.” According to a report on the TMZ.com, it has been revealed that the man who has been charged with the allegations of the exuberant extortion plot is 51 year old Robert Halderman, who works on the true crime based show of “48 Hours.”
