Robert “Joe” Halderman has pleaded not guilty to charges that he aimed to extort $2 million from David Letterman. The CBS producer was arraigned in a Manhattan courthouse this afternoon, following his Thursday morning arrest on charges that he threatened to expose Letterman’s affair with staff member Stephanie Birkitt , who was living with Halderman at the time. Sources claim Halderman was seeking money to help with child support payments he owes ex-wife Patty Montet, from whom he divorced in 2004.
