NBC4 reportsthat in 2017, an L.A. police captain was leaking confidential information about a criminal investigation on Moonves.
The top CBS executive had been accused of sexually assaulting a former employee.
Palka was the commanding officer of the Hollywood Division in 2017.

They met for about an hour and discussed the LAPD investigation, the ethics summary said.
The meeting was not part of the official investigation by the LAPD.
In December of that year, Moonves texted Palka directly and discussed the case again, the commission found.
Gottlieb and her attorney, Gloria Allred, declined to comment late Friday on the Ethics Commission finding.
Moonves resigned from CBS in 2018 after at least 12 women accused him of sexually assaulting them.
Moonves has denied all allegations.
