Letterman consulted with the Special Prosecution Bureau of the Manhattan District Attorney's office who advised Letterman to issue a phony $2million check to the alleged extortionist, which he did, and which resulted in an arrest.

Letterman said he had to testify in front of a grand jury and that in his testimony he acknowledged sexual relations with members of his staff.

"My response to that is, yes I have. Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would," said Letterman. "I feel like I need to protect these people - I need to certainly protect my family."
