During a taping of an upcoming Oprah Winfrey show, the veteran ABC Newswoman admits to having an affair with married U.S. Senator Edward Brooke. In the interview, to air Tuesday on Oprah, Walters remembers the Massachusetts Republican as “exciting” and “brilliant.” The affair lasted several years in the 1970s.

Brooke was the first African-American popularly elected to the Senate. The AP obtained a transcript of the Oprah show in which Walters admits that public knowledge of their affair could have ruined his career as well as hers.
