Googled. Why was a private newspaper publishing photos from a hidden camera in his government office? That seems shady.

Seriously? You’re asking why a media outlet with an axe to grind published confidential information from an insider source with an equal axe to grind? Have you not been paying attention in the US the last few years or so?

A government official with a hidden camera in his office is weird. Said contents leaking to the media is even weirder. Nothing like that comes to mind as having happened in American politics.

I don't know about the camera. I only saw it described as CCTV. No surprise it was published if someone leaked it.

I was mostly amused by the framing of it as a social-distance matter, instead of him kissing/whatever a subordinate who's married.

Oh I don’t know. We had a politically motivated Lt Col that violated protocol and circumvented the chain of command and found sympathetic partisans in Congress that culminated in the sham impeachment of a sitting president. I think there’s even worse stuff that has already happened here than some underling planting his own camera or grabbing footage from an installed camera to get an unpopular Secretary removed. But that’s just me I’d guess

This is a terrible comparison, but I’m sure it’s not just you.

If the married official knew about the CCTV cameras and was still plowing his married (to somebody else) co-worker in his office, that’s kind of double amateur hour.

If they were secretly put there and then leaked to the press that seems like a bigger story, to me.
