<title>Letterman Blackmailed: Joe Halderman Speaks: &#8216;I&#8217;m Not Trying to Hide or Run.&#8217;</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="JHalderman_10.8.jpg" src="/tvnewser/files/original/JHalderman_10.8.jpg" width="310" height="219" class="alignright" vspace="6" hspace="3" />For the first time since his arrest a week ago on charges he tried to extort $2 million from <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/David-Letterman-profile.html">David Letterman</a></strong>, CBS News producer <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Joe-Halderman-profile.html">Joe Halderman</a></strong> is talking, though he&#8217;s not saying much.</p>
<p>FOX 5 WNYW caught up Halderman at his Norwalk, CT home earlier today. &#8220;I can&#8217;t make any comment and I understand you&#8217;re just trying to do your job,&#8221; said Halderman, who knows that job well. &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing I can say. I hope you have a very nice day. I&#8217;m not trying to hide or run, but there&#8217;s nothing I can say,&#8221; Halderman told reporter <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Christine-Persichetti-profile.html">Christine Persichetti</a></strong>,</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the NYTimes&#8217; <b>Bill Carter</b> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/08/business/media/08letterman.html?_r=1&amp;emc=eta1" target="_blank">reveals it was</a> Halderman&#8217;s co-workers who <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cbs/letterman_blackmailed_robert_halderman_pleads_not_guilty_138692.asp">bailed him out</a> of jail last Friday.</p>
<blockquote><p>In another sign of how much support Mr. Halderman still commands inside CBS, two of his current co-workers, <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Andy-Soto-profile.html">Andy Soto</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Marc-Goldbaum-profile.html">Marc Goldbaum</a></strong>, posted the bond for Mr. Halderman&#8217;s bail. Neither man would comment Wednesday, but Mr. Halderman&#8217;s lawyer, <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Gerald-L-Shargel-profile.html">Gerald L. Shargel</a></strong>, confirmed that the men had posted the bond.</p></blockquote>
<p>CBS News continues to decline comment on other questions about Halderman, who remains suspended with pay, but Carter writes the network is denying a report that it is conducting an internal investigation of Halderman.</p>
<blockquote><p>The network said it had initiated no such investigation on its own and was only cooperating with the authorities who were pursuing the case.</p></blockquote>
<p><img alt="McGinnis_10.7.jpg" src="/tvnewser/files/original/McGinnis_10.7.jpg" width="150" height="153" class="alignleft" vspace="6" hspace="3" /><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Marcy-McGinnis-profile.html">Marcy McGinnis</a></strong>, who spent 35 years at CBS News, <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cbs/changing_of_the_guard_cbs_senior_vp_marcy_mcginnis_steps_aside_28282.asp">departing in 2005</a>, was Halderman&#8217;s boss in the CBS News London bureau. &#8220;Joe went to every nasty place there was,&#8221; McGinnis tells Carter. After hearing the news of the killing of 16 children at a school in Scotland in 1996, he told her: &#8220;Just let me grab a bag and I&#8217;m there.&#8221; As for his way with women co-workers, McGinnis says Halderman was &#8220;a flirty guy,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I was his boss, of course, but he never put the moves on me.&#8221;</p>
