Manhattan DA Uses Sting to Stop Blackmailing of Letterman

An employee of CBS News was recently indicted on charges of blackmail in a plot against David Letterman. Manhattan’s District Attorney, Robert Morgenthau, reported the indictment against Robert Halderman on Friday, telling authorities that he had used an undercover sting operation to reveal the plot. Letterman reported that he had discovered a package filled with embarrassing photographs and e-mails in his limosine.

Letterman’s attorney delivered the evidence to the prosecutor’s office, which set up a sting operation at a hotel. New York police detectives set up recording and surveillance equipment in an adjoining room, capturing proof of the plot as evidence.
