The problem was that Wilson's former paramour, who had remarried since the previous dalliance, had a step-son whom she was fond of who was in hock to the tune of 40K. The damsel, through Untermyer was hopeful that the President would have access to the funds to help her step-son get out of debt and in return she would surrender Wilson's steamy love letters, which were now in Untermyer's possession.
President Wilson conveyed his gratitude that the "lady" in question was trying to discreetly take care of this situation as opposed to going to a Republican lawyer who would make political hay out of Wilson's indiscretion. Wilson, however had a couple problems. First of all he didn't have 40 thousand dollars laying around. Secondly, hone didn't think it wise to publish his need for that money to supporters given the questions that would naturally arise. (We must keep in mind that 40K in the early 20th century was a large sum of money in today dollars.)
Untermyer offered a solution to Wilson that would satisfy all parties. Untermyer offer that,
1.) Untermyer himself would, out of his own pocket, provide the needed 40K
2.) Untermyer assured Wilson that the breach of promise lawsuit would never see the light of day
3.) Untermyer promised Wilson that he would place the love letters in a safe place where no one would ever see them
The only quid pro quo that Untermyer asked was that Wilson would consider Untermyer's counsel when the next Supreme Court Justice opening required Wilson's appointment. That vacancy soon did occur and Untermyer suggested that the jurist Louis Brandeis be named the first Jewish Justice to the Supreme court. Untermyer's suggestion became President Woodrow Wilson's appointment.
[End of The Blackmailing Of Woodrow Wilson And The Rise Of Louis Brandeis]
Andrew Carrington Hitchcock picks up where jetbrane, left off.
About a century ago, the 28th US President Thomas Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) was reportedly blackmailed by a noted lawyer Samuel Untermyer of Messrs "Guggenheim, Untermyer and Marshall", who had tried to extort $40,000 from the American head of state in relation to an affair Wilson had with a fellow professor's wife, while he was teaching at Princeton University. [False, not a fellow professor's wife.]President Wilson budged to the blackmailer's demand of appointing a United States Supreme Court judge. Consequently, on June 4, 1916, a Jew Louis Brandeis (1856-1941) was appointed to the US Supreme Court by President Wilson as per his agreed blackmail payment to Samuel Untermyer three years earlier.
And finally the blackmail story ends when it is claimed that Wilson declared war because
Supreme Court Justice Brandeis volunteered his opinion to president Wilson that the sinking of the S.S. Sussex by a German submarine, in the English Channel [one year earlier], justified the declaration of war against Germany.

The question now is NOT if the blackmail story, full of inconsistencies [10], is true, it is false. The 1979 American Heritage essay entitled Love and Guilt: Woodrow Wilson and Mary Hulbert, and Edward Mandell House, confirms: "Mrs. Peck never demanded and Woodrow Wilson never paid hush money or blackmail."
The question is why did we have to wait until 1979 to find out it was false.
