It would have been very different if he was single. He wouldn't have "betrayed" his fam/wife. Maybe the sleazy media shouldn't focus on this aspect, but they can't just ignore it. It's also relevant to his perception as a defendant, ceo, grifter, etc.

    This is how blackmail works. You do something that is scandalous and that starts the chain of increasingly desperate attempts to keep things quiet.

    So while the Chinese spy thing was the actual problem, the rest are still important parts of the story.
