NEW YORK — A TV producer accused of trying to blackmail David Letterman said he needed money to visit his son and would mask the transaction as a business deal, prosecutors said Tuesday.
“The issue is your client does not want this information public,” Robert J. “Joe” Halderman told the TV talk show host’s attorney in a secretly taped conversation, prosecutors said. “I have said, for a price, I will sign a confidentiality agreement.”
A judge may rule in January on whether to dismiss the attempted-grand-larceny case.
